Hello Granville Gardeners,

We experienced really nice temperatures at the end of August but we know it will start to cool down this month. Soon we will need a sweater to head down to the garden!

Here are some updates for the upcoming transition to Autumn:

HARVEST

Planting and growing your own food is satisfying but harvesting your vegetables is one of the greatest pleasures. It may seem obvious and silly to remind gardeners to pick and eat their food, but here it is: get picking!

Picking your veg when it’s ready and ripe for the eating will also reduce the amount of theft and opportunity for it, as well as unwanted attention from pests and rodents.

PLANNING FOR FALL & WINTER

There’s still time to start planting your fall and winter crops. West Coast Seeds has a great resource that explains and provides helpful tips for what to plant for the fall and winter season. You can find the document HERE.

Enjoy the rest of Summer,
