Many people think that spring is the only season to start planting . However, autumn is also the perfect time to landscaping your garden . Many perennials grow well when grown in this season.
With the soil still warm and diseases still low, autumn can offer strong, vigorous plants . By the way, perennials are not unusual in the world of agriculture.
In fact, apples and alfalfa fall into this category of crops and are grown intensively for later sale. If you, like me, want to start planting in the garden in autumn , here are 5 sustainable vegetables that you absolutely must grow.
Shallot
Very popular in the kitchen, shallots have different bulbs under the soil like onions or garlic. Easy to grow, they can be stored like onions for several weeks.
In terms of flavor, shallots are particularly mild compared to onions. To plant shallots, allow four to six weeks to pass before the first frost arrives.
Rhubarb
Rhubarb plants can be planted in both fall and spring. You need to wait a few years for them to establish well and give a harvest. You will therefore have to be patient before you can enjoy a delicious strawberry and rhubarb tart freshly picked from your garden.
Walking onions
If you don’t like bulb onions, you can grow another, more perpetual variety of onion. The walking onion, sometimes called Egyptian onion is a more resistant variety and more resistant against various diseases.
This is because the walking onion produces bulbils which are located at the top of the plant. These become heavy and then the plant bends over and begins to plant itself . As a result, this variety of onion produces clusters of bulbs below ground, like garlic .
Saffron crocus
You can choose to plant saffron crocus in autumn . To do this, grow the right species, namely the saffron crocus or Crocus sativus. This bulbous plant, which flowers every autumn, yields saffron, an expensive seasoning.
Asparagus
If you start planting asparagus this fall, you will harvest it in early spring. Like rhubarb, you need to let asparagus develop for a few years before harvesting it. By planting asparagus, you can have tender and sweet vegetables.
