If you have been planting with the seasons than you have been working hard the past weeks to tend your cool weather plants. I want to make sure you do not let all that hard work and your beautiful fresh produce go to waste. Remember if you plant with the seasons, you also harvest with the seasons! In Kentucky, where Edible Gardens Inc. is headquartered, the cool season is coming to a rapid end as a warm front has moved in, and the hot season will soon be upon us! So, as you go into your gardens be checking your lettuce, radishes and herbs for what we call bolting and harvest what you have following the instructions in the video above!

What is the secret to having tomatoes in my fall salad garden?

What you may not know about home gardening could be keeping you from enjoying your precious vegetables well into fall!

Here is the secret to having ripe tomatoes for Fall Salad Gardens:

Depending on your climate (hardiness zone) you can have established tomato plants while your newly planted lettuces are just maturing! Google “hardiness zones” and type in your city or zip code. This gives you average frost date windows for your area. This means that tomatoes can survive until your expected frost date! Kentucky spans Three Hardiness Zones: 6a, 6b, and 7.

More simply Google “how many days are in my growing season!” Louisville, KY has a 205 day growing window!! That means we can expect to be gardening from April thru October. Plant a blend of tender and hardy salad greens to enjoy before winter freezes (usually December around here).

Even better news for those of you that...
