Welcome to the Old Fashioned on Purpose Podcast.

It is a hot summer on the homestead.

Definitely hotter than last year, but the garden is loving it.

It is swinging right along. We've got tomatoes coming in, which is unheard of this early in the year.

We have cucumbers and beans and beats and all sorts of stuff.

It's awesome, but we're also getting down to the wire

to get the fall garden planted, which may sound a little weird

because it's still the middle of summer.

But yes, it is time to be thinking about the fall garden, and I'll be honest.

This whole thing confused me forever because I assumed a fall garden mean you started it in the fall, but that is not true.

So in this episode, we are going to talk about all things fall gardening, how to prepare, what to plant, and what to expect.

I'm your host Jill Winger and this is the podcast for the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks, the

Mavrics, the Makers, the Backyard Farbers.

If you're ready to boost your food security and live a more homegrown lifestyle, well, this is the place for you.

I'm interrupting this episode to give a quick shout out to our sponsor this month, Union Wireless. Union is a Wyoming-based small-town

telephone company that's been in business for the last 100 years. They specialize in having

more cell towers in more places and what started as one man's mission to help rural Wyoming residents stay connected has blossomed into a thriving network that connects folks via landline, cell phone, and

internet service in Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, and Utah.

If you're one of my listeners who lives in the west, head on over to UnionWireless.com to see if they'd be a fit for you.

Now back to our show.

So like I said, for many years, I believed that a fall garden was something that you

started in the fall. You know, I had this vision of, okay, we wrap up the garden for the summer, I take a little breather, and then come October, we start the fall garden.
