Start your vegetables from seed!

There are many vegetables that can be started from seed at this time of year. Some can be planted directly outside. Others you should start indoors and transplant outside once the weather warms up. Some seeds that you can start outdoors now include Broad Beans and Radishes. Indoors you can start Celery, Leeks, Onions, and/or Parsley.

If you started your winter vegetables like cabbage, kale, or winter lettuce now is the time to harvest them. To protect your winter vegetable if we receive snow or severely cold temperatures cover them with burlap, a frost blanket or similar protection.

Some other things to do with the vegetable garden include:

• Spray your fruit trees with Lime Sulphur and Dormant Oil to prevent insect and fungus infections later in the season
• Clean up any dead or dying plants as they serve as food for insects
• Prepare your vegetable beds for spring planting by adding compost, manure, and/or lime
• Pick out seeds for the vegetables that you want to grow this summer

At this time of year you should clean up any dead or dying plants as they attract animals that may feed on them. You should prepare your vegetable beds for next season by adding compost, manure, and/or lime.

There are many vegetables that will grow in the fall and winter in our climate. You can grow a variety of lettuce, cabbage, kale, and Swiss chard. We have a selection of these and other vegetable crops throughout the fall.
