Great Time for Planting Beds
S
broad beans. Both are good, cold hardy cover crops with sturdy
roots, good for breaking up heavy soils. Last year I planted broad
beans in an empty raised bed I had readied for potatoes, intending
them as a cover crop to cut and turn under in spring. They grew so
well, I decided to eat some thinnings (the tips are good in salads
and stir fries) and let the remainder grow and produce beans.
Broad beans are one of my favorite foods. As the beans
mature the pale seed coat gets tough and strongly fl avored, and
most people prefer to remove it (you cook the beans, briefl y,
fi rst). While the beans are about half an inch long, there is no
need to peel them. After that it’s a matter of taste. You can also
let them mature completely and dry on the plant: broad beans
are used to make the traditional Egyptian dish, ful medames. Buy
seed of a variety selected for eating.
In the fl ower garden it’s time to plant peony roots, daffodils
and small spring fl owering bulbs. Tulips can wait a month or two.
But autumn isn’t just for planting spring bulbs and kale. Michael
Kaszycki of Fox Hollow Nursery would like to remind you that
it’s a great time to plant just about anything. “It’s your choice,”
he says, “would you rather plant on a cold, miserable wet day
in April or a beautiful day in fall?” Kaszycki would also like to
sell you plants, of course. Plant sales have been slow since the
economy tanked, and like many a nurseryman these days he’s
o you think the gardening year is winding down? Think
again. We are entering the best all-around planting
season of the year. Let’s start with vegetables. Depending
on the weather, you can still get fall and winter harvests from
sowings of lettuce, mache, arugula and other leafy greens, with
or without protection from cloches or row covers. Carrots too.
Kale, mustard and beets, planted now as starts, can yield from late
fall through early spring. Enrich the beds for overwintering crops
with compost before you plant, but don’t add too much fertilizer.
Save it for a booster in late winter.
Cover crops like crimson clover and fava beans can be seeded
now through October in empty beds to protect the soil from
winter rains. They will also provide fresh, nitrogen-rich organic
matter for next year’s crops. And it’s an ideal time to build new
raised beds, which can then be planted right away, by seed or
starts, with winter-hardy edibles, seeded with a cover crop or
simply covered with a layer of fall leaves to await planting in
late winter. It is hard to over-state the value of raised beds in a
wet climate. Some people sow peas in fall to overwinter — and
sweetpeas, too. I wouldn’t try that without a raised bed.
Speaking of fava beans, there are two distinct types. One has
smallish, pea-like seeds and is also known as bell or faba bean.
The other has large, fl at beans, sometimes called, appropriately,

a bit overstocked. But he’s absolutely right about fall planting.
Early fall is perfect for dividing your own perennials, too
Aside from the likelihood of pleasant weather, why should
you plant in fall? Soil tends to be at its most workable after
autumn rains (or, if rain is slow in coming, after strategic
irrigation). Some heavy clay soils are only workable in fall, but
even with better soil there are advantages. When you plant early
in spring, growth is slow. Plant late in spring, and hot weather
can dry plants out before they establish a good root system. Soil
is warm in fall, and moisture levels are optimal. Plants root out
quickly, and then you get the benefi t of fall and winter rains to
keep them moist. When next summer arrives, those plants have
had months to become established and will demand less attention
from the gardener.
Fall planting is almost essential for native gardens that will
receive minimal supplemental water. It’s also a good time to
plant containerized trees, shrubs and vines. In fact just about
anything can be fall planted as long as you can get it — and this
year that may be easier than ever, especially if you shop at small
“alternative” nurseries where the proprietors propagate much of
their stock and keep it from year to year. Fox Hollow Nursery,
near the corner of 28th and Friendly, is bursting with ornamental
and fruiting plants of every description. He is one of several
enterprising local growers who sell plants at the Lane County
Farmers Market.
