Most homesteaders are exhausted by the end of summer. How about yourself?
We start seeds indoors early, then prepare the garden and transplant the seedlings, then we weed, trellis, chase the bugs, and when the harvest starts rolling in by the basketful it’s time for canning season.
You probably find yourself in the kitchen for long hours canning tomato sauce or fermenting cucumbers… Not to mention the kids are out of school, there are a million activities, the goats are in milk and so on…
We reach the end of August with our tongue hanging out. Who has time or energy to even think about the fall garden?
Well, friends, it`s time to think about the fall season 🍂🍁
In this post, I’ll share with you 25 vegetables to plant in autumn. Even though it’s not the peak of the growing season there are so many vegetables to grow and so much food can be produced this time of the year.
Let`s dig in!

A few years ago I came by purple sweet potatoes at a local farmer’s market here in North Carolina and couldn’t resist buying a few 💜 I had never seen purple sweet potatoes before and I was super curious to taste them. Since then, I harvest a whole lot of purple sweet potatoes every fall and use them throughout the winter. One of my favorite dishes to make is these mashed purple sweet potatoes 🍠 This side dish is super easy to make and are creamy and healthy. It`s going to add color and great taste to any dinner!

Kale is a crop that I always have in my garden 🥬 I plant it in the spring and it always produces a ton of leaves. It then slows down considerably in the heat of summer and once the weather breaks in September, it comes back for a fall harvest. What am I doing with my extra crop this month? Making Kale Chips!
This dehydrated kale chips recipe is very easy and takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish! Making kale chips in the oven is a great way to turn your kale into a tasty snack and it’s also a great way to preserve some of your kale.

Carrots are so much fun to grow in your garden because you get to eat them right away! 🥕 There is nothing like a fresh carrot from the garden.

Learn how I freeze my carrots to enjoy all year long! 🧡

We pretty much live in corn country here in central NC 🌽 Local farmers sell 12 ears of corn at the market for $4. It’s so affordable it almost doesn’t make sense to grow it yourself (the benefit of growing it yourself, of course, is the fun of watching it grow and the fact that you know for sure that it’s organic).
We eat so much of it every summer, and every summer I dry the silk and use it for corn silk tea ☕🌽 Here`s how I make my very own corn silk tea – and why I recommend you give it a try!

Preserved lemon peel is a Middle Eastern/Moroccan kinda dish. We use them on salads as an added flavor and as a substitute for mayo-based dressings.
So when life gives you lemons, preserve them! 💛
