September is almost here! Now is the time to weed your garden beds, turn in some compost, and plan what will go in your garden for fall!
Starting in September you can plant:
Artichoke Crowns/ Transplants, Beets, Broccoli Transplants, Brussels Sprout Transplants, Cabbage Transplants, Carrots, Swiss Chard, Collards, Kale, Kohlrabi, Mustard Greens, Bunching/ Green Onions, Peas, and Radishes!
After typing all that out- now I am excited for fall! Order your seeds! Draw your designs! Crack open your cookbooks! Fall is the best time to garden in South Texas.

My favorite place to order seeds online is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds- but there are lots of great seed places out there. I encourage you to skip the GMO seeds and anything that Monsanto has had a hand in. Which is a challenging but not impossible task- as a Texas gardener- you are used to those odds.
Hi there! I am a first time gardener here in San Antonio. I am so glad I found your blog! I was curious where you can buy organic transplants in the San Antonio area. I found a planting guide here: http://dianestexasgarden.blogspot.com/2010/09/fall-planting-guide.html .
ReplyDeleteWere the plants you mentioned in your post the only ones you have grown successfully this time of year? Because I would like to also try winter squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet peppers. I tried all of those this summer in my raised beds..with no luck!
You could attempt some peppers or cucumbers but I think its getting too late for most of these. If you already have some- try it - but we usually plant all of these earlier during July or Aug.
ReplyDeleteLooking over that list you posted on planting times- it looks really solid on dates. I would agree with those time frames for planting.
