It’s October and the garden is really lush right now. I love gardening this time of year because everything looks so good. All the stress of the summer is gone, the season has gotten cooler, the light is better, and this is when the garden really shines. Sure, I miss my summer tomatoes, but a lot of what I love to grow and eat most does best in the autumn. Join me and see what all you can grow in the fall.
Want to learn to grow all of these edible crops and more? Join me next spring in my newest course, Organic Vegetable Gardening. I’m opening that back up for new enrollment in March, 2024.

Beautiful garden!
Thank you for sharing your garden with us ,🌻
thx
Beautiful garden and home
Beautiful garden. Thank you.
Borage and nasturtiums are heavy self seeders.
Wow! I've never seen an eggplant that tall!! I'm from Michigan–maybe it's a southern variety?
Your garden looks healthy even in October. Wow!
Thanks for the tour Joe, it those nasturtiums look great popping up everywhere! 👏👏
I am finally realizing my nasturtiums actually like a bit of shade and cooler temps…next year I will do what you did and plant them more “under” my tomatoes rather than on the south end of my beds where they get blasted by the hot sun and get crispy in mid summer.
A very nice garden, Joe. My pollinators love catnip, which everyone considers weeds, and I did too until I saw how many bumblebees and honey bees were on them. They also make a good pest repellent for the bunnies, squirrels, and other little guys that like to eat my rose bushes and veggies. I just harvest some chop it up and spread it around my plants, and it works. May the Lord keep blessing you and yours and thanks again.
Hey Joe – what kind of timber did you use to make your raised beds? I love how those are constructed. I’m in the process of clearing an area for a 40 x 40 fenced in garden and want to incorporate some raised beds. Thanks.
Gorgeous garden Joe as always!! Welcome back from your trip!!
Here in the PNW my nasturtiums seem to be aphid magnets. I finally gave up fighting them by not planting them. BTW, I sure miss your appearance at the PNW Floer and garden show each Feb.
I'd like to see you add some natives to your vegetable garden, Joe! 😁
Beautiful garden! I love the idea of adding more flowers.
