Fall garden tasks
Fall 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. If you still have warm season crops like peppers that are still producing, you can leave those in while you work around them to put in your cool season favorites that might include, broccoli, Swiss Chard, collards, carrots and many, many more. Before planting, remove any weeds and warm season veggies you're done with, add some compost, and plant away.
For areas you're not planting right away or where you want to build the soil, there are many options for cool season cover crops like winter peas, vetch and crimson clover.
