Hey Neighbor,
The official start of fall this year is September 22nd — though I think I’ve already felt it in the air. August was rougher than usual for me, especially with that heat wave. I find myself overheating more easily than I used to. The older I get, the more I appreciate fall. It feels like a fresh beginning. The garden shifts to different kinds of plants, and honestly, is there anything better than walking through the garden on a cool morning with a hot cup of coffee in hand? In the spring, I tend to get caught up in warm-season crops. But fall? That’s when I really enjoy focusing on cooler-season varieties. Here are a few of my favorites I think you’ll love this year: -
Calendula - Also known as Scotch marigolds. They thrive in cooler weather and bring bursts of vibrant orange and yellow to the garden. -
Mr. Big Pea - A large and highly productive English pea, and the biggest variety I’ve ever grown. -
Magnolia Blossom Pea - My favorite climbing sugar snap. Perfect for small gardens when grown on a trellis, and it’s incredibly productive. It can reach 5–8 feet tall with beautiful blossoms. -
Supremo Beans - sometimes called “October beans.” Delicious fresh or preserved as a dry bean, they make a wonderful fall crop to enjoy around the holidays.
