As we are still enjoying the sunny August weather in the Northwest, you need to start planting your fall/winter garden. The reasoning behind this is to allow the plants to get big enough to handle the first frost. The difference between spring/summer plants and fall/winter plants is simply how cold hardy they are. Here is a list of seeds that should be planted in August for a great ongoing Fall/winter harvest:
Swiss Chard
Spinach
Carrots
Radishes
Kale
Cabbage
Beets
Lettuce
Arugula
Peas
Brussel sprouts
Potatoes
I hope this list helps you get going on your fall/winter garden. There is no time like right now to plant up these crops in your garden!
