Time to plant some of those fall veggies.

September is good for beets, carrots, chard, Chinese cabbage, collards, endive, garlic, kale, kohlrabi, head lettuce, leaf lettuce, mustard, parsley, garden peas, radishes, shallots, summer squash, spinach and turnips. Cilantro is also a good fall crop - it will grow like crazy if watered well.

Now is the time to plant trees for a good over-winter. Some fruit trees need the cold of winter to thrive or product fruit. Just be sure to water them in good so they can develop a root system, and then mulch mulch mulch. I've had great luck with plants from Natural Gardner, but my all time favorite nursery is It's About Thyme located on Manchaca Road, almost in Manchaca.
