 What are you planting this fall? When we start our Fall Vegetable Garden In South Texas Fall is the ideal time for a vegetable garden in South Texas. Traditionally, September has been the recommended time to start planting most of our cool season crops. Seems like the summer heat drags on longer and longer each year, so you may want to hold off until mid-September if the days are still really hot. This year we are putting up a netting fence around out garden to keep the deer out. We will keep our fingers crossed that it works. Our deer seem to always eat our garden… We are halfway through summer and the hotter the days get the less I want to work outside. While you may not feel like being outside right now, this is a great time to do prepping for your fall vegetable garden. Remember when planning your vegetable garden: select varieties for our area, plant at the right time, prepare your soil, provide adequate moisture and make sure you have plenty of sun. When should I start my fall garden? Fall Garden Planting Schedule 12 to 14 weeks before your first killing frost. 10 to 12 weeks before your first killing frost. 8 to 10 weeks before your first killing frost. 6 to 8 weeks before first killing frost. We order our seeds online, when ordering online check what is suited to our growing zone. Check with your local plant nurseries for a better selection for plants that are right for our area. If you don’t know what planting zone you are in, I have listed some good websites below to help you find the correct zone. We are in zone 8. We have a little longer time for our plants to mature and produce longer. Get your garden area ready for your fall plants. Add any fertilizers, and nutrients needed for your Vegetable plants. Unlike our landscapes, vegetable gardens need to be watered almost daily. A drip irrigation system is recommended for the most efficient application as it will deliver the water directly to the root zone. If you have to water overhead, make sure to do so early in the morning to avoid the plants being wet for prolonged periods of time. With our high humidity excess moisture can quickly create favorable environments for pests and disease. While you may be tempted to plant your garden in the shade of a nice tree, remember that most fruits and vegetables need a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of sunlight. What can I plant now in South Texas?
