As your corn quits or your tomatoes or peppers give out you can still make use of the vegetable garden.

Standard in the fall vegetable garden are all the vegetables related to cabbage. First in Modesto is broccoli. this is one of the most dependable fall vegatables and late August and september through October is the time to get them in.

Cabbage is also seccessful here A little more difficult are those Brussels sprouts that mothers everwhere try to get their kids to eat.

If there is something that kids do like are the edible pod peas that love the fall season. When I have grown them I never grew enough to actually get them into the kitchen. The kids and I always tasted them gone before they made it.

Leaf vegatables like lettuce and Awiss chard do well now. If you haven't grown the multicolored Swiss chard they look great in the ornamental garden as well as the vegatable garden.

Later we will have onion plants for Stockton Red, Fresno white and yellow onions.

From seed turnips, carrots, peas are just a few of the easy to grow fall vegetables.

In any case there is something for every one in the fall

Happy vegetating.
