On Tuesday, August 26, 9:30 a.m., join Master Gardener Ann Reese at the Henderson County Master Gardener Harvest Garden inside the Henderson County Regional Fairpark Complex, 3356 State Hwy 31 E., Athens, for a 30-minute tutorial and discussion about planting a fall vegetable garden. This presentation is free and open to the public. As it will take place outside, you may wish to bring a hat or sunscreen. Seating is limited, so bringing a camp chair is advised. This is part of HCMGA’s “Tuesday Tutorials.”
Because East Texas usually has a long autumn, fall vegetable gardening can be very productive. According to HCMGA’s Monthly Gardening Guide, there are several things you can plant in August to get your fall garden off to a good start. They are: bush and pole beans, carrots, collards, cucumber, English peas, Irish potatoes, kale, kohlrabi, lima beans, parsley, summer squash, sweet corn, and Swiss chard. Transplants of broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower can also be planted now. Lettuces can be planted after September 15.
