Fall for food

As summer winds down it's time to start thinking about fall foods. Personally if I eat one more cucumber I don't know but something bad might happen. Clear your garden beds of any debris like old tomato plants, string beans and such and start anew, with things like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, beets, head lettuce, kale and other hearty greens. I like to add some fresh compost to any new plantings I put in. Local farm stands and garden centers should have some veggie starters to help you on your way. If you can't find any grab some seed and plant away. Once the cool weather hits you'll be glad you did all this preparation and you can enjoy some warm dishes from the garden.
