If you live north, fall in your garden is the perfect time to protect them from the cold. The ground will freeze by December. The ideal time for you to plant and tend your plants in fall is in the southern areas. Fall provides protection from the cold and is a great time for vigorous exercise and gardening. Here are some tips to make fall enjoyable in the garden.

These areas are suitable for growing cool-season vegetables such kale, lettuce, cucumbers, and spinach.
FAQ
What is the best vegetable garden layout?
Your location will determine the best layout for your vegetable garden. If you live in the city, you should plant vegetables together for easy harvesting. If you live in rural areas, space your plants to maximize yield.
What month is the best time to start a garden?
Planting vegetables in April and June is the best time. This is when the soil temperature is highest and plants grow most quickly. You might want to wait until July/August if you live in a cold area.
How can I tell what kind of soil is mine?
It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. You will find more organic matter in darker soils that those of lighter colors. Soil testing is another option. These tests can measure the soil's nutrients.
