    I live in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. However, I am in the mountains about 2K feet up. I am new to gardening in the fall. When do I start planting my fall garden? What do I plant in a fall garden. It starts getting cool in October & a bit cooler in November. Barbara Turner.

      Hi Barbara, I provide several good tips in the blog post: Time to plant a Fall Garden You can start planting carrots, beets, and radishes now. Followed by greens and lettuces in August. Look for varieties that have short days to maturity to ensure a harvest before winter sets in. Spinach and kale actually tastes better after a light frost, and carrots, if well mulched, can last into the winter months. Check out the blog post for more detail to help you get started.

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
I'm growing a "winter" tomato this year! What's that? Ah, it's a beautiful, little paste tomato from the hillsides of Mount Vesuvious in Italy: Pianollo del Vesuvio. Pianollo translates to hanging, and that's exactly how the large clusters of fruit are stored...for months, in Italy. The fruit becomes sweeter, the longer it hangs. I love growing something new and have been intrigued by these tomatoes since seeing them packed in jars of saltwater in a deli in Rome a few years ago (still kicking myself for not buying a jar). My hopes are high this season, as I have five plants in the ground. Stocky, indeterminate plants only grow to 36 to 48 inches. I discovered another seed source and ordered three more types. If they produce, plants will be available next year for all to grow winter tomatoes!#thecoeurdalenecoop #italiantomatoes #pianollodelvesuvius #winterstoragetomatoes ... See MoreSee Less
