Fall is a time for growth!

When we think of fall, we generally think of falling leaves and things on the decline but we can change that perception. This has been the first year of our new vegetable demonstration garden here at the Davidson County Cooperative Extension Center and as the summer crops have passed I have now planted our fall garden. One look at the garden can change the mind of even the worst skeptic about fall gardening. The plants look great this year. It's amazing what good seed, a soil test and enough water can accomplish!

As you can see from the photos the plants are looking healthy. I did a thorough scouting of the garden earlier today and found no bugs at all nor did I find any disease or fungal infections. Fall is a great time to grow and if you are looking to start a fall vegetable garden it isn't too late! Get to your local nursery or farm store and get some transplants of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce and any other cool season vegetable. With proper care you will have a bountiful harvest!
