It's time to grab that spade and head back out to start your fall veggies. The garden you plant as summer melts into autumn provides varied, nutrition-packed eating through the beginning of winter. Think leafy like lettuce, cruciferous like broccoli, but that's just the beginning of the "cool weather crops." Garden people divide vegetables into two categories, warm season crops that need hot sun to mature, and cool season veggies that prefer brisker weather. These cool-weather tough guys tolerate light frost and some even shake off temperature drops to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Just remember to offer fall garden plants a sunny location, soil with ample organic content and regular irrigation and you'll be eating home-grown through the holidays and beyond.
