Spring flowering bulbs should be planted in the fall. If your starting a new garden you'll need to evaluate the site. Is there turf grass that needs to be removed? What about roots from nearby trees or shrubs? Is the soil rocky, clay, or sandy? Or maybe you want to do a raised bed garden. You'll want to have the garden bed prepared before the fall planting time.

Potato Tower
The soil inside the potato tower has settled some but I've opted not to add any more. I saw some flowers earlier but now there are none. I'm waiting for the plant to die back to harvest the potatoes.

Bed #6
As I said, I took out the peas today even though there were a lot on the vines. They just didn't look so good. The picture was taken before I did that.
The Rutgers tomatoes are growing great. At least a dozen or more tomatoes waiting to ripen and lots more on the way. I've put some time into tieing them up to the trellis, trimming some branches to help air flow, and pinching suckers to keep things under control.
Bed #5
The Armenian Cucumbers are sprawling all over. I wasn't seeing anything but male flowers until the other day when I spotted some baby Armenian Cukes. I'll have to do some more work for the trellis as this is really too small for the way these cucumbers grow.
Bed #4
Only few bush beans are growing and one pole bean got mixed in the bunch.
Peppers and eggplants are both producing regardless of the very short plants.
Bed #3
Red and White Cabbage slow to form heads. Lots of insect damage on a few of the plants.
Kentucky Wonder pool beans have made it to the top and a starting to bloom. Harvest won't be as heavy as normal.
Bed #2
Multiple sunflowers coming along nicely. Some are Mammoth and some are Teddy Bear. I squeezed in a late planting of bush type cucumbers in a couple empty spaces.
