Fall Planting

Fall planting time for fall vegetable gardening in Texas has been going on for some time, and it is past time (in East Texas at least) for planting out tomatoes, or anything that will take more than about 60 days to mature, or anything that won’t do well in cooler temperatures. That doesn’t mean that your gardening has to end, it just means that it is time to switch gears to cooler weather fall garden plants with crops like kale, collards, or some of the other cabbage related crops, and there is still plenty of time to get in a crop or two of leafy green vegetables of other types as well. In fact, there are a lot of crops that will withstand much of our relatively moderate winter, and even more that will survive if given the protection of a cold frame or greenhouse.
