While many think that fall is a time of retreat and rest for the garden, it is actually an ideal time to grow various plants for harvesting in winter/spring.
Which plants should be planted in the fall?
If you are thinking of planting fruit trees or vegetables, now is the time to get active. These plants are suitable for planting in the fall:
- Berry bushes such as raspberries, gooseberries and currants
- Flower bulbs
- Lamb's lettuce
- Fruit trees
- Radish
- Rhubarb
- Spinach
- Onion sets
- Winter purslane
- Winter garlic
What should be considered when planting?
Before it gets colder, the early fall days are usually still very warm, so it is important to water the freshly grown plants sufficiently to prevent them from drying out.
As soon as the days get colder and the first frost appears on the ground, it is advisable to cover certain plants such as lamb's lettuce with fleece.
Fall planting can not only liven up your garden in the upcoming season, but it can also be a soothing and rewarding activity to nurture the natural beauty of your outdoor space. So grab your gloves and your garden shovel and let your creativity run wild as you prepare your garden for the coming seasons.
