Fall Garden Tasks: Raised Bed Vegetable Gardening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of raised bed vegetable gardens<\/a> is that they tend to warm up faster in the spring, and stay warmer in the fall. This means that you can extend the gardening season for a few weeks (if you are lucky.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My own raised bed vegetable garden<\/a> tends to follow this general rule. In the fall, even a brief frost doesn’t stop the whole garden. Leafy greens, like my Swiss chard bed, are unaffected. Only the very tender vegetables like tomatoes and peppers are finished when Jack Frost comes to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n
