Fall/winter is the favorite gardening season for many of us in Central Texas - the temperatures are pleasant, and we can usually count on a little rain here and there. That said, this season has been a little different. With a lack of rain and temperature fluctuations, our plants are confused and some of our greens are bolting. The best thing we can do is to keep our gardens mulched and continue with deep watering. We also want to keep our plants healthy in order to build resilience in case we have another major cold front this year by managing insects and regular applications of seaweed and compost tea.
We can also plant another round of cool season veggies like beets, carrots, and sugar snap peas. Onion sets and seed potatoes should also be available soon in our awesome local nurseries.
