Fall vegetable planting guide

The Houston Chronicle had an interesting gardening column this week. It was about what to plant for a fall crop of vegetables.

The end of July is when you plant tomatoes for a fall crop.

Green beans, pea pods and summer squash get planted in Sept.

Broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and other cool weather crops can be planted any time between Sept. and January.

Lettuce can be planted between October and spring.

Spinach should be sown in late October or early November.

Onions should wait until January.

    T^hank you for sharing that. I thought maybe it might be too late to put in a few tomato plants.

    You’re welcome.

    I’m hoping to do better with the second crop. The first group of tomatoes I planted this year was disappointing.
