Fall Planting

I've been busy trying to figure out exactly what I want to plant in our fall garden. This will be the first time we've planted for fall. I think I've narrowed it down to these plants: pumpkins, onions, carrots, potatoes, and lettuce. Might try some perennial herbs on the outskirts but I'm not sure which ones yet. I think we'll try gourds too just for fun. It will be fun to have a bunch of pumpkins by the time fall gets here. I love to decorate for fall and the kids will love to grow and pick the pumpkins and gourds. I'll have to clean out the tomatoes which I really don't want to do yet. I think I might give them another week or so. Some of them are ready to go but some are still producing even though they're not very big. We'll have to plant everything but the potatoes from seed. Our local nursery said they won't be getting any more bedding plants in this summer. Planting from seed takes longer but is really more fun to watch. It's rewarding to see the first green start to pop out of the ground. Just love it!
