This might be a silly question but any suggestions for companion planting for fall crops? Over the summer I had a lot of luck with companion plants with my veggies but not really sure what could thrive in the fall with the weather change ? We’re in the middle of a heat advisory (heat index of 100 here in zone 6A) so it’s been a bit hard to focus on the fall garden. Thankfully I started several things in the house so I’m not too far behind ?

I’m planting cabbage, kale, lettuce, spinach, Brussels sprout, swish chard, radish, beets, turnips, garlic, carrots, and a second round of okra and pole beans. I may try to plant some potatoes later on for a spring harvest but haven’t decided yet. What are y’all planting??

I’ve much to learn, but there’s a book, “Carrots Love Tomatoes,” that deals with companion planting.

I have received heirloom seeds from a seed company. I will not use all of the seeds. How do I store them? I have Mylar bags, a foodsavor, and oxygen absorbers.

The best way to store seeds from year to year is:
1. Make sure they are completely dry
2. Vacuum seal in food saver bags or even canning jars
3. Place in a cool place, or even better, in the freezer

I hope this helps!
