Time to Start the Fall Garden

According to the University of Kentucky publication, Home Vegetable Gardening in Kentucky, now is the time to start vegetables for a late fall harvest. Beets, lettuce, green beans, snow peas, cabbage and spinach are a few of the vegetables started in July/ August that will be ready for the table in September/October. You can get a free copy of Home Vegetable Gardening in Kentucky tomorrow at Twilight in the Garden. Master Gardener and chairman of the vegetable garden team, Norman Wallace, will be at the garden to discuss various aspects of fall gardening and address questions.

Master Gardener, George Rob, will discuss ways to extend the growing season.
