Collapse ▲Fall veggie gardening notes from Bountiful Harvest Community Garden manager and Master Gardener℠ Volunteer Jane Grossman:
“Now is the time to be planting a late summer crop for a fall harvest. Make sure to add some nutrients to the soil to give these new plants an extra boost such as blood meal or fish emulsion.
When to plant? Look at how many days it takes for the plant to reach its harvest date by seed or transplants. Count back from the average first frost date to see how much growing time there is.
Bountiful Harvest Community Garden manager Jane Grossman consults with a gardener on her vegetable plot.
When is the average first frost date? The range for Hendersonville is October 12-29 from multiple sources which is a wide swing. Somewhere in the middle, October 20 is a safe point to calculate from. From August 15, this Saturday, there will be 66 growing days for seeds/transplants to be harvested by October 20.
To ensure enough growing time for these later plantings, transplants are better than seeds with the exception of carrots which prefer growing from direct seeding.
With frost protection such as hoop tunnels, growing time can be extended beyond the October 20 first frost date estimate. Garlic overwinters and can be planted up until the end of October.
See the reference chart below with suggested plantings for late summer provided by NC State Extension for the WNC region. S indicates growing by seed and T indicates using transplants. It is always good to also go by the recommended days to harvest listed on seed packages and transplant labels.”
