Temperatures may be about to drop, but that doesn’t mean your garden is ready to hibernate. In North Carolina, there are plenty of veggies to choose from that thrive in the fall. There are also endless possibilities when it comes to options for indoor plants. And there are even ways to support the ecosystems of bugs, insects and birds as we head into colder months.
Some gardening experts argue that fall is the best season to garden. As temperatures typically cool and rain may increase, planting trees and shrubs during this time can help establish a strong root system before the freeze comes.
It’s also a great time to plan for the warmer months, organize your gardening materials and utilize greenhouses to prep for spring.
We’ve assembled a panel of gardening experts to tackle all these questions, so make sure to write us throughout the show at charlottetalks@wfae.org with “gardening” in the subject line.
