On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise, Jan, and John will talk about the fall gardens and the best time of the year to grow leafy greens. Lettuces and root crops are the best veggies to start, as they take about 100 days to harvest. Be sure to keep your fall garden vegetables watered and protected at the beginning of the season. You can also try planting radishes, beets, carrots, bok choy, green beans, and more, but be sure to keep tabs on the harvesting dates for your vegetables as freezing temperatures start to hit our region. Don’t miss this edition of Good to Grow, and stay tuned for the next episode!
The El Paso County Master Gardeners started in 1981 and has been growing with many volunteers and Master Gardeners ever since. The love of gardening and search for knowledge are primary reasons people join the program to become trained and certified Master Gardeners. Texas Master Gardeners are united in name, but the program’s strength lies in its ability to meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves.
