Forsyth County Extension:
All About Growing Vegetables

We hope that you've enjoyed your spring and summer vegetable garden, that you've taken steps to extend the harvest of your tomatoes and other crops into the fall, and that you're ready to plan for the fall vegetable growing season.

Even if you have never gardened before or have not had the results you had hoped, fall is a great time to begin again. The temperatures are cooler and the change of seasons brings a new selection of vegetables to please your tastebuds and satisfy your nutritional needs for fresh food.
