While it is August and outside temperatures are near 100 degrees, it is time to start thinking about Fall Vegetable Gardening. If you want fall tomatoes, beans, squash, pumpkins and more, now is the time to get working on your fall vegetable garden. The Farmer’s Almanac website is forecasting the first frost of the season could be as early as November 17^th for cities in the Fort Worth area. That is a little over 100 days away from now.

Fall tomato plants will be available soon in most stores.  It takes the tomato plants 40 to 50 days to start producing tomatoes AFTER you plant them in the ground. If you start tomatoes from seeds, it typically takes 70 to 90 days to start producing. So now is the time to prepare those gardens. Remember to add cotton burr compost when planting your vegetables.

Here is a quick fall vegetable guide that can be planted if you’re working on a fall vegetable garden.
