I think it’s just the season I’m in 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Really looking forward to getting the rest of my garden turned back around. The chaos of it all is crimping my style (and my anxiety).

Still left:
Yank out my spring tomatoes
Clean out the weeds
Harden off my broccoli, cabbage, dill, marigolds, zinnias to plant out soon

I’m so ready for sweater weather and soup season!!!

I found some gardening mojo that was stronger than my overwhelm lol and got some work done in the garden. Prepping it for more of my fall planting.

Here’s some tips for transitioning your garden beds for the next round (it’s what I’ve been doing and am doing currently):
1. Pull up plants that are no longer producing (like dried-up beans, bolted lettuce, or exhausted squash). Removing them prevents pests and diseases from overwintering in your soil.
2. After a hardworking summer, your soil is hungry! Mix in compost, aged manure, or a balanced organic fertilizer to recharge nutrients before fall planting.
3. Switch gears to fall favorites—think leafy greens (spinach, kale, lettuce), brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), and root veggies (carrots, beets, radishes). These thrive as temps cool down.
4. If you still have warm days ahead (which you do in Texas Zone 8b!), tuck in quick growers like bush beans or cucumbers alongside your fall starts. This way, you squeeze every last harvest out of your season.
5. Keep row covers, frost cloth, or even old sheets handy. Your first frost might not hit until November, but being prepared means you can extend the season for tender fall crops.

✨ Save this as you prep your own garden beds for fall.
