See each plant's individual Growing Guide for more specific planting, plant care, and harvesting information. Some fall vegetables need to be harvested by the first frost but also many are frost-tolerant-and even taste better after a kiss of fall frost! Not only is the soil already warm but also there are less pests and it tends to be rainier so you don't need to water as often. Many crops that would be started indoors for a spring crop can just be plunked into the soil directly for a fall crop. Think of this as a second summer! It's easy to keep the crops going if you're already prepared the soil!
When we say 'fall,' we really mean planting in summer in time for a fall harvest. The planting calendar below tells you when to plant in the SPRING and also plant in the FALL, based on your zip code or postal code.
