Fall Garden Time!
I do not grow vegetables for myself in the summer. It is just way too hot for me to spend the extra time outdoors. Plus, I am a yankee, and I tend to dislike the veggies that grow in Austin in the summer- okra and blackeye peas for instance. But now the time has come for things I do like- Beans, cukes, and greens. Every labor day weekend I put in my fall veggie garden and become somewhat obsessed with it, because I know that the fall garden is the best in Austin. All of the veggies get better and better as the weather cools off. You may have read in a previous blog that my fig tree grew over my veggie bed, engufing it in deep shade. Well, I had planned on moving it, but I opted to plant my fall garden in another bed that I used to use for veggies and as a holding area for perennials that I bought or got from friends but didn't have a good spot for yet. The spot is a bit shady but I hope it will suffice when the leaves fall.
