Rosie Lerner, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture  \nFall is an excellent time to grow many vegetable crops. During this season the gardener can take advantage of cooler temperatures and more plentiful moisture. Many spring-planted crops such as lettuce and spinach tend to bolt, or produce seed, and become bitter in response to the long, hot summer days. Fall gardening helps extend your gardening season so that you can continue to harvest produce after earlier crops have faded.  \nVegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts are better adapted to fall gardening, since they produce best quality and flavor when they can mature during cooler weather. In Indiana, spring tends to heat up rather quickly. For many crops, insect and disease pests are not as much of a problem in fall plantings.  \nMany vegetable crops are well adapted to planting in late summer for a fall harvest. Use fast-maturing cultivars  \nwhenever possible to ensure a harvest before killing frost occurs. Table 1 indicates the last feasible planting dates for late summer plantings using average maturing rates for short season cultivars. For more precise planting schedules, consult Figure 1 to determine the average date of first killing frost foryour area. Then count backwards from the frost date, using the number of days to maturity for the cultivars you want to grow to determine the last feasible planting date.  \nKeep the fall garden in mind while planning and ordering your spring garden seeds and plants. Seeds of the cultivars you want may be out of stock by late summer. You may need to raise your own transplants; not all garden centers carry vegetable plants for fall gardens.  \nHorticulture & Landscape Architecture  \n[ag.purdue.edu/hla](ag.purdue.edu/hla)  \nVEGETABLES  \nThe Fall Vegetable Garden  \nHO-66-W The Fall Vegetable Garden  \nPlanting  \nRemove all previous crop residues and any weed growth. Completely prepare the soil by rototilling or spading 6-8 inches deep. If spring crops were heavily fertilized, then no additional fertilization may be needed. However, 1-2 pounds of a general analysis fertilizer, such as 12-12-12, may be applied per 100 square feet of bed area. Be sure to thoroughly mix the fertilizer with the soil. Some gardeners prefer to sidedress the plants with 1 pound of 10-10-10 per 25-30 feet of row placed 6-12 inches from the plants. Apply the sidedressing 2-3 weeks after germination if plants appear to be growing slowly.  \nLate summer plantings often suffer from hot soil anda lack of water. Soils may form a hard crust over the seeds which can interfere with seed germination, particularly in heavy soils. Use a light mulch of vermiculite, compost, or potting soil over the seed row to prevent a crust from forming. Seeds of lettuce, peas, and spinach will not germinate well when the soil temperature is 85°F and above. Shading the soil and using a light mulch over the seed row will help keep the temperature more favorable for germination. Planting the seeds slightly deeper than spring plantings may also be beneficial, since temperatures will be slightly cooler.  \nDo not allow seedlings and young transplants to dry out excessively. Apply 1 inch of water in a single application each week to thoroughly moisten the soil. Young seedlings may need to be watered more often during the first week or two of growth. Young transplants may benefit from light shade for the first few days until their new roots become established.  \nFrost Protection  \nSome vegetables that are already growing in the garden will continue to produce well into the fall, but are damaged by even a light frost. Some crops are considered semi-hardy and will withstand a light frost without protection. 0thers are hardy enough to withstand several hard frosts. Many common vegetables are listed in Table 2 according to their frost tolerance.  \nYou can extend the fall growing season for tender crops by protecting them through early light frosts.  \nIndia","cbCairtOTaYoKy9d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairtOTaYoKy9d","pdf",1244338,"English","# Planting\n## Frost Protection\n## Table 1: Planting guide for fall vegetable gardens\n## Table 2","[{\"question\":\"Why is fall a good time to grow many vegetable crops?\",\"answer\":\"Fall offers cooler temperatures and more moisture, and it helps prevent spring-planted crops from bolting or turning bitter after hot summer days.
