While most gardeners ponder spring the most serious planting season, and ponder planting season over my mid summer this isnt the case. Now there are many lovely flowers and attractive vegetables that could be planted in late summer to be enjoyed this fall.

One of the perks of fall gardening is the much more tolerable weather, for both you and your plants. The scorching heat and sun of July and August has gone. Plants grown in the fall have much more ideal weather conditions in which to thrive and grow. If you want to extend your gardening season into fall think about planting root vegetables like carrots, radishes and beets. Lettuce and spinach and potatoes do well planted in fall. Also, fall is a sizeably workable measure to take a look around your yard as this is the time of year that some perennials and trees might be planted. Do not forget spring flower bulbs! Now is the measure to go through those catalogs youve been receiving and generate your order for your show next spring!

Fall is also a time to take stock of your garden for next year. Start with your soil. The back bone of any garden is the soil. It doesnt matter how much you spend on your plants and flowers, if you do not have sizeably efficient soil in your garden they will not thrive and grow well for you.. Your soil needs to be porous and absorb water well. Do you need to add a soil ammender? Do you absolutely need to add a fertilizer? Its dazzling to do this on a regular basis as fertilizers encourage and stimulate plant growth. What were your bug problems last year? Before you have loss or damage to your garden next year build sure that youre prepared.

Youve seen how your plants have performed this season. What did well and what didnt? Is there a plant that could be moved to a different location where it might fare better? What plants need to be divided? Can you make use of these new divisions somewhere else in the yard? Fall is the measure to walk around your garden and contruct notes for spring. Its also a sizeably workable idea for you to build a sketch of the garden itself, noting where each flower is. This way you will understand in spring that whats coming up is a perennial returning, and not a weed to be pulled.
