Plant Fall Crops To Still Enjoy Summer’s Bounty<br />
By Kathleen Harvey,<br />
Owner, Plant Artistry, LLC<br />
The summer heat has broken, and<br />
utumn will soon be upon us. But<br />
here’s still ample time to enjoy your<br />
wn backyard bounty. Fall is a great<br />
ime for gardening, thanks to cooler,<br />
ilder temperatures, a decrease in garen<br />
pests, and moist, well-draining soil.<br />
ool weather crops grow and taste best<br />
hen temperatures are below 80<br />
egrees Fahrenheit, especially when the<br />
rops are maturing. Choose varieties<br />
hat mature quickly for best results.<br />
Prepare the garden for fall planting<br />
by removing plants that have stopped<br />
producing. Note where everything was<br />
planted and be sure to rotate crops.<br />
Level the ground after pulling plants,<br />
and remove weeds. Loosen compacted<br />
soil by fluffing it with a pitch fork or garden<br />
hoe. Major tilling isn’t necessary;<br />
just loosen soil sufficiently to enable<br />
new plant roots to grow. Add amendments<br />
such as compost to enrich the soil<br />
with fresh nutrients. If using a cold<br />
frame or hoop, set it up early so plants<br />
won’t risk damage once they begin to<br />
grow. Alternatively, dark landscaping<br />
fabric placed on the soil prior to plant-<br />

Lettuce<br />
There is more to lettuce than<br />
Iceberg. Leaf lettuces make a great<br />
addition to fall salads. Lettuce prefers<br />
days and nights cooler than 70 degrees.<br />
Grow lettuce from seed planted shallowly<br />

Spinach<br />
Favored by the cartoon hero Popeye,<br />
Spinach is related to beets and Swiss<br />
chard. Among the world’s healthiest<br />
vegetables, it is rich in vitamins and minerals,<br />
including Vitamins K and A. It also<br />
contains concentrations of manganese,<br />
magnesium, iron, as well as nutrients<br />
such as beta-carotene that provide powerful<br />
antioxidant protection. Maybe<br />
Popeye was on to something! Although<br />
spinach prefers full sun, it’s one of the<br />
few vegetables that produce a<br />
respectable harvest in partial shade.<br />
Peas<br />
Give peas a chance! There are several<br />
types of peas, including snap peas and<br />
pod peas. Pod peas need shelling when<br />
they are mature. Once the pods are<br />
shed, the peas can be frozen, cooked,<br />
canned or boiled. Snap peas have edible<br />
pods. They can be left on the plant<br />
to swell and be used like pod peas, or<br />
they can be stir-fried or eaten raw in salads.<br />
Peas like nitrogen-rich soil, so<br />
adding a nitrogen-rich fertilizer can<br />
help pea production.<br />
Carrots<br />
When most people think of carrots,<br />
they think of long orange ones. But<br />
there are many varieties that can be<br />
grown, from the long thin style to smaller<br />
thumb sized carrots, in colors ranging<br />
from red to yellow to white and the<br />
familiar orange. Carrots prefer cool<br />
weather for the best germination and<br />
growth. They tend to take a long time to<br />
germinate, sometimes as long as two<br />

Let us not forget that the medals<br />
and citations that hang in our<br />

were not given for decoration, but<br />
rather dedication. Dedication to<br />
our nation, its values and its ideals.<br />
Men earned these honors for our<br />
