Preparing for Fall Planting

It seems when people think about gardening and growing food, they typically associate it with the spring and summer months. However, fall is a fantastic time to grow food here in Oklahoma! We feel it’s actually a better time to grow food than spring for several reasons: fewer bugs, cooler temperatures, and less chaotic weather. Although August is still one of our hottest months, it’s when we start to plant a lot of our seeds for the fall and transplant any broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower that we started indoors last month. Learn more about how and when to grow 100+ fruits, vegetables, and herbs in our free app on iOS and Android. Search for gardening in the App Store or go to seedtospoon.net, and you will find our free From Seed to Spoon gardening guides app! In the app, you can filter down by what “can be planted” in your area now, which can help you find out what plants you should be growing!

If you missed out on starting cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts indoors, no worries!! You can still plant them outside directly by seed. Instead of planting 1 seed and hoping it will develop, we sprinkle seeds generously and thin them down as they grow until there is only 1 left. These thinnings are essentially microgreens and are a great way to get a lot of nutrients into your diet without much effort. Check out our YouTube channel to see videos on how we grow these plants in our Oklahoma garden!

We will be sowing seeds for carrots, beets, turnips, and radishes this month. It’s essential to keep these seeds moist until they sprout. This can be a difficult challenge in the heat of August. To help our seeds out in this weather, we will cover the area with burlap and water them every day. Once they sprout, we take the burlap away, and the plants are off and running. The great thing about many plants is they tend to taste better as the temperatures cool down. For example, carrots harvested in November and December will taste radically sweeter than those harvested in May. Salad greens also take on the same effect. You won’t believe how great kale can taste fresh out of the garden in the winter!

It’s also time to plant a lot of our greens for the fall. We will sprinkle kale, lettuce, arugula, spinach, and Chinese cabbage around the garden. We take the same approach with these plants and sprinkle generously and thinning down as the plants start to grow. Many of these greens will survive all winter here in Oklahoma and start flourishing again in the spring!

One of our favorite parts about August is that we have so much food coming in from the garden! With all the squash we are harvesting this month, we find many ways to uniquely cook and bake with them, so we don’t get tired of the same foods every day. We have a blog post listing our 6 favorite ways to use zucchini in the kitchen. It includes recipes for zucchini-oat chocolate chip cookies, Parmesan-crusted zucchini fries, zucchini bread, zucchini hash browns, zucchini pizza bites, and zucchini grilled cheese. You will love the variety, and if you have any picky eaters in the household, they will undoubtedly be appeased! Check out Check out several great recipes for zucchini online at seedtospoon.net or in the free Seed to Spoon app.

the recipes in “our blog” within our free app, the “more” section under a specific plant, or our website at seedtospoon.net.

With everything coming in from the garden, August is an excellent month for preserving a lot of food for the winter. Our summer plantings of peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, okra, beans, and much more will all be producing a lot. Our favorite and one of the easiest ways to preserve most of these is by freezing. Check out our blog under the “more” section in our free app or website on details on how to protect your extra harvest from the summer to enjoy all winter long!

Good luck out in your garden this August! Hope you enjoy your garden as much as we do! Follow us on our From Seed to Spoon social media pages for daily updates from our homestead!
