GREAT TIME TO
PLANT YOUR
FALL GREENS!
As summer winds down and the nights turn crisp, it is the ideal window to plant your cool-weather crops. Varieties like broccoli, greens, arugula, spinach, and kale thrive in autumn conditions. Grow your own crisp lettuce, spicy arugula, tender spinach, and fresh annual herbs like cilantro, parsley, and dill right in your backyard! There is nothing quite like the flavor of homegrown greens harvested straight from the garden.
Why Fall is the Best Season for Greens
Cool autumn nights and crisp morning air cause plants to convert starches into sugars, resulting in sweeter flavor compared to summer-grown crops.
Hardy cool-season greens love the dropping temperatures. Many varieties will continue producing well past the first autumn frosts.
As the weather cools, common garden pests like aphids naturally decline, giving your crops a healthier growing cycle with less upkeep.
