It’s time to plant a fall garden and extend the productive bounty of summer’s harvest  into fall. Fall is actually an easier time of year to garden- it’s typically nice and cool, insect populations are reduced and some fall crops sweeten when nipped by frost. Newbie and avid gardeners alike, will enjoy the extra inning of fresh produce before the chill of winter sets in!
