August 13, 2011 - Fall into a great garden!

In my world, the garden has always been a glimmer of hope in the winter, seed packets and seedlings in early spring, cultivating and planting in late spring and early summer, harvesting in summer and early fall, and then clean-up in the late fall, followed by winter all over again.

Could it really be that the garden doesn't have to be "put to bed" for the colder fall and even winter months?

Here are some sites with information on how to set up a garden that will last well into the fall...maybe longer, who knows?

And, don't forget the flowers:

It's not too late for many things to be planted, so let's all get busy!
