Would you believe me if I told you my fall garden usually does better than my summer garden that's planted in the spring? It may seem counter-intuitive to plant cool-weather-loving crops during the hottest time of year. And you may be wondering how many of those seeds even germinate when the temperatures are soaring. The most important thing with fall gardening is getting your timing down. Since many cold-weather crops tend to bolt during hot temperatures (most often above 85°F), there are a few things to keep in mind when starting seeds in the summer for your fall garden.
