What Can I Grow in Fall/Autumn

Aug. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- One of the best questions that you may have when you are working to get your vegetable garden grown is “What can I grow in fall/autumn?” Here are some useful answers that you can use for finding the right vegetables for the season including ones that can be harvested during the fall season.

Root vegetables are popular vegetables that can be grown during this part of the year. Among these root vegetables that can be used include carrots and radishes. What makes these so popular for the fall is that root vegetables grow quickly. It will help for you to be sure that the soil you are growing these vegetables in is at a temperature of five degrees Celsius or greater for these vegetables to grow properly.

Bulb vegetables are also vegetables that can be grown at this time of the year. Most bulbs will be able to handle temperatures that are above freezing including temperatures as low as ten degrees Celsius. Onions are some of the most popular of these vegetables. If you have any kids you can always get them to help you with planting your bulbs.

Pumpkins are also great vegetables to grow during this season. Pumpkins have the ability to grow at faster levels during the fall season. What’s more is that when you plant your pumpkins in a soil that is warm during the summer you will be able to get your pumpkins to grow at their best levels.

Leafy vegetables can be used during this type of year as well. Vegetables like lettuce, cabbage and spinach can be planted during the late summer so that they will be able to grow during the fall season. Many of these vegetables can handle light frosts.

Sweet peas can also be handled in this season. By planting these into your garden during the fall you will be able to get them to build up during a dormancy period in the winter so that they will be able to produce high amounts of peas in the spring.
