I know that many of us are in the middle of the summer harvest. This is the first year on our little piece of paradise and we are already looking at ways to extend our growing season with a fall garden and cold frames. I would REALLY love some advice from any of you farm girls that have had success or failure with this. Looking forward to that farmgirl wisdom

there is a seed to plant in every heart

I live south of you in Florida, but my winter gardens are my favorites. The cool weather and the sunny days mean no bugs and good yields. I plant loys of broccoli and cauliflower - they can take a freeze. Lettuces are good in fall gardens, but freeze in the winter. Snap peas can take a lot of cold, too, and are so good! I plant them in the fall/winter....and to tell you the truth, our peppers keep giving off fruit for a long time into fall. I have even planted cherry tomatoes late in summer, and had a good yield in the late fall.

Happy planting!
