Generally, anything that matures in less than 60 days or that will tolerate light frost is ok now. Some varieties of peas, most lettuces, collards, and kale are the ones that come to mind. Just remember that some years we get frost early, some years it comes late. And there may be areas in your yard that stay warmer than other areas, such as near the foundation on the south side of the house. Low areas tend to be colder and may frost earlier than the rest of the yard. At the first frost you can cover up for a few nights those plants that might be damaged and then we usually get another stretch of warmer weather.

All gardening is something of a gamble. Give it a try. Or try a few in containers that you can bring inside for the first few frosty nights.

Good luck.

Next week I plan on seeding bush beans and beets. I kept one Sun Gold tomato plant from the summer garden and started another from a sucker, so they're the beginning of the fall garden. Also plan to seed lettuce, arugula, Swiss Chard and put in a few more herbs ... parsley, salad burnet, thyme, and dill.

What are you planting?

Kariegil you can try brocoli. That should work. Changsong

I was going to plant lettuce, broccoli, and cabbage too, but the seeds I had left were old and it looks like they're not good anymore. I planted some inside two weeks ago and they still haven't sprouted.

I live in central Texas, and a lot of hardy vegetables can survive the winter here. And I'm really looking forward to it since it's so much nicer working in the garden in the cool fall weather than when it's August and 105 degrees! The off-season for gardening here is really the summer, not the winter. It's probably similar in Florida.
