Vegetable Garden in Louisiana
August and September are essential months to fall gardening in Louisiana.
Crops to seed in August include turnips, sweet corn, summer squash, southern peas, mustard, Irish potatoes, cucumber, collards, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, beets, kale, kohlrabi, bush snap beans and bush butter beans. Cauliflower and green shallots can be transplanted in August.
Several of these crops can tolerate a hot start, so crops like cabbage, collards and Swiss chard can be seeded in summer through September. Swiss chard is considered a year-round vegetable. Others like Chinese cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, mustard and turnips should be seeded August through early October for best success.
Soil fertility should be considered. It’s common to practice crop rotation by replacing one crop with a different type to help suppress common soil pests. If a heavy feeder is followed by a light feeder like peas or beans, there may well be residual fertility, which could result in a bushy plant with little or no fruit. On the other hand, if a heavy feeder follows a light feeding crop, you will definitely need to apply a complete fertilizer before planting.
