Maybe you grew a lot of pretty flowers this spring but no edible plants. The cooler planting season is just around the corner, so why not grow some edible plants this fall, such as lettuce, spinach, potatoes, garlic, onion, etc.? Once you taste a freshly picked vegetable from the garden, you'll never want to eat a store-bought veggie again! There are many different varieties that you can grow that are not available at the grocery store.
