Most frost tolerant crops can withstand temperatures as low as 26 degrees Fahrenheit. Meaning you can continue to enjoy them well into Fall. Here in Columbus, Ohio you can expect to keep harvesting from your garden thru October, November, and potentially beyond depending on that fickle Ohio weather.

During garden consultations, one thing I spend a lot of time discussing with clients is the different growing seasons of Columbus. Many people think that the growing season starts in May and ends in September. However, our gardening season can actually last through November, or even longer depending on the weather.

When I first started growing food in my garden I assumed you started planting in May once the threat of frost had passed and that by September you were done. And I hear this from so many clients as well. 

However, you can actually start planting in your garden as early as April 1st and can continue to harvest through to November or later, depending on the weather. Pretty cool, huh?
