Planting a Fall Garden

12 years ago

Hey Everyone,
I was looking through the old posting and couldn't find a recent article about fall gardens. When should I start planting for a fall crop and what should I plant? I live about 20 minutes north east of Philly in Langhorne, Pa.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
David

I'm in North Central PA an I plant cabbage, broccoli, onions an cauliflower the first week of August, You could plant turnips, radishes and some beans, I'm sure there might be more.

Excellent question. It is something I have been tossing around in my head too.It is a bit late for me now but perhaps I will get some cold crops going next fall.
