Gardening Methods

I am getting ready to plant a fall garden, and live in South Mississippi, what is good to plant?

It’s too early for a fall garden

September 2007

1-2 Good days for planting root crops.

3-4 Seeds planted now tend to rot in ground.

5-7 Fine planting days for fall potatoes, turnips, onions, carrots, beets and other root crops. Also plant seedbeds and flower gardens.

8-12 A most barren period, best for killing plant pests or doing chores around the farm.

13-14 Good days for planting peas, beans, tomatoes, peppers and other aboveground crops in southern Florida, Texas and California. Excellent for sowing grains, hay and forage crops. Plant flowers.

15-17 Excellent time for planting aboveground crops that can be planted now, including leafy vegetables, which will do well. Start seedbeds.

18-19 Clear fence rows, woodlots and fields, but do no planting.

20-21 Any aboveground crops that can be planted now will do well.

22-23 Poor planting days. Kill plant pests.

24-25 Favorable days for planting aboveground crops, extra good for vine crops.

26-27 Seeds planted now will grow poorly and yield little.

28-29 Good days for planting root crops.

30 Seeds planted now tend to rot in ground.
