                   Get Ready for Fall Gardening!

 


by Anne Moss, HCMG

   Fall is a great time to start a vegetable garden. Aggie Horticulture’s Fall Gardening Guide has tips on bed preparation, recommended Texas varieties, when to plant and when to harvest.
   If your yard has only a few inches of topsoil, you may be more successful if you plant in raised beds or containers – see Building a Raised Bed Garden and Vegetable Gardening In Containers.
   
Looking for seeds? Try these local nurseries:
                                                                 
          The Plant Haus 2
          528 Jefferson Street
          Kerrville

          Boyle's Hardware
          1002 Main Street
          Bandera


          Woerner’s Feed & Garden Supply
          305 S. Lincoln Street
          Fredericksburg
 
  If you still can’t find what you need, two internet seed sources are Nichols Garden Nursery and The Cook's Garden. Although these are out-of-state companies, they both sell some vegetable seeds recommended for Texas, as well as more exotic varieties.
