Fall Gardening Zone 6-7

First Frost: Mid to late October
Start your fall crops in early to late August, and keep sowing every couple of weeks for a steady harvest. These zones have time for roots, greens, and some slow-growers like Swiss chard.

Start sowing:

• Swiss chard, beets (Formanova), salad burnet, kale: Late July through mid-August

• Lettuce, spinach, arugula, cilantro: Early to late August

• Carrots, bok choy: By mid-August

Quick tip: Add a 1–2" layer of compost before sowing to refresh summer beds.

Fall crops can be sown through mid to late September
