When do you put in fall plants?

I'm so excited to get started on fall plantings, but it's still so warm Indifferent

When do you put in your fall plants? I'm thinking about cutting back the sweet potato vine and ripping out all of the rose moss and getting the petunias and zinnias out of the pots so I can do some soil work before planting pansies, mums, kale, and maybe asters.

Re: When do you put in fall plants?

  • I'm an amateur gardener (this is my first year with my own garden!), but from the research I've been doing online now seems to be the time for fall planting in our zone.

    I planted mums and aster 2 weeks ago, and I'm planing on putting in daffodil and iris bulbs at the beginning of October, per the instructions on the bag. As soon as my vegetable seeds arrive I'm going to do a second planting of my garden with lettuce, spinach, broccoli, carrots, beans, peas, radishes, and beets. The OSU gardening outreach recommendations I've found actually recommended re-planting vegetables a few weeks ago, but it's still been way too hot for gardening.

  • I agree with the pp. I think if you want to go ahead with your mums and all, you should be fine.  I did my fall vegetable planting several weeks ago and things seem to be sprouting just fine.  I usually do my bulb planting (tulips, irises, lilies, etc) the weekend of thanksgiving break. 
  • I'm glad you girls brought up planting bulbs. I never know when to plant them but now I'm gonna go put it on my calendar!
