    Default Gardening question

    I live in Pennsylvania. Are there any vegetables that I should be planting now or soon for fall harvesting? Looking for ways to extend my growing season. I normally only have a summer garden.

    I currently have planted, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, eggplant, brussel sprouts, lettuce, herbs, and beets.

    You can have second harvests of many things. You could plant more beets now and later on, maybe late August, you could plant some cool weather crops such as lettuce, spinach etc.

    What I would do is look up your last frost date, the read the seed packets for the times it takes to harvest. Then plan accordingly. To extend even further, you could cover things if you have a danger of frost late in the year.
