The Best Times to Plant Fall Vegetables


Fall Planting Schedule

Don Weber and the Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia have posted a rough guide for planting fall vegetables in Arlington, on the bulletin board outside of Central Library's vegetable garden.

The planting schedule is specifically adjusted for the Arlington area (inside the beltway), with the expected first frost date of  early to mid-November.
