Even though Summer and gardening season is over for a majority of the country, in Texas, we are back at it.
And lucky for me, I have a fabulous husband to complete a few new raised garden bed builds. Giving my garden a much needed refresh with a galvanized steel style.
This past week, after filling the new beds with soil, I planted a fall crop of lettuce, brocoli rapini, kale, bok choy, beets, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Best thing ever tho is I am still harvesting flowers from the cut flower garden and so many herbs for drying and storage.
Fall Planting in Plano
Oh, and it was also time to pop in the garlic.
In the next 2 weeks, I will be thinning carrots and then planning for January preps. Getting my greenhouse ready for my lavender that I propagated so they can go in the ground in March.
If you are new to gardening, I invite you to become a garlic farmer alongside me! You can plant it in October or even November. It’s so easy, just set it and forget it for about 9 months.
I love the prospect of a new garden and applying the lessons I have learnes so far (which is an enourmous amount of lessons). Here’s one for myself: don’t plant drought-tolerant plants next to sprinkler heads. Hindsight is 20/20.
I love knowing that in this next year, its a whole new start with the potential of new abundance that only grows in this cold air. I hope I get it a lot of it right this time.
Happy fall gardening!
