Summer crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and peppers will keep producing until the first frost, so harvest frequently (before the fruits get overripe) to encourage these plants to continue producing.
Saving your own seeds from open-pollinated plants makes sense on many levels:
– You get free seeds to sow again or to share. – Your seeds will always be fresh (as long as you store your seeds properly, that is). – You know exactly where the seeds came from and how they were grown. – You can preserve a specific variety that’s hard to find.
Now is the time to direct-sow seeds for quick-growing, cool-season vegetable crops like spinach, kale, lettuce, Asian mustards, radishes, baby beets, and baby turnips.
A cover crop has many benefits for your soil: it adds nutrients, improves soil fertility, loosens heavy soil, chokes out weeds, and prevents soil erosion.
