First, the weather is more pleasant for outdoor activities. Second, while cool season crops aren\u2019t pest free, most are leafy green plants that don\u2019t require pollinator insects to produce edible food. This fact allows growers to enclose plants in low hoop houses and very effectively exclude pests. Additionally, because these crops grow and mature during the school year, fall gardens are a great option for school gardening programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table caes-extended-core-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Fall vegetables to purchase as transplants<\/strong><\/td><td>Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fall vegetables to plant in the garden from seeds<\/strong><\/td><td>Beets, bunching onions, carrots, collards, kale, lettuce, mustard, radishes, spinach, Swiss chard, turnips<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Refer to the University of Georgia <a href=\"http:\/\/extension.uga.edu\/publications\/files\/html\/C963\/C963VegeChart.pdf\">Vegetable Planting Chart<\/a>, Circular 963 for recommended cultivars and planting dates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fall gardens offer several advantages to gardeners.
