Step 1: Out with the Old

Clear out those spent summer veggies – tomatoes, squash, the whole crew! Their big appetites leave the soil hungry, so let's replenish it.

Step 2: In with the New

Raised beds? Easy peasy! Grab a bag of potting soil, toss in some nutrients, and you're ready to plant those fall starts like broccoli and cauliflower.

Insider tip: Add a sprinkle of 'Willetts' 🐑 (wool pellets) for a nitrogen boost, better moisture retention, and amazing root growth.

In-ground beds? Spread a 2-3 inch layer of manure, BUT let it sit before planting directly into it. Too hot for those tender fall roots!

Remember: Now's the time for starts, not seeds, to get a jump on the season.

Get Growing!

With a little prep, your garden will be bursting with fall flavors in no time. Happy planting! 🍂
