With the fall garden, you can have fresh vegetables
up to and even past the first frost. Timely
planting is the key. Warm season crops such as
corn and beans could be harvested up until the first
killing. Frost, cabbage, broccoli and other cool
season crops can withstand a light frost for midsummer planning
. Make sure the soil is moist and seed should
be planted twice as deep is in the spring.
During the dry summer season, the young plants will
need ample moisture. A message from your Virginia Cooperative
