I live north of Atlanta and want to plant a Fall garden.

I had moderate success this season with three raised beds since the area is only was only getting mid day sun due to the shade of trees, those leaves will soon be gone. Anyone got suggestions as to what I should plant and when?

I am not an expert, but when I do grow something I usually get good results.

Thank you in advance.

I would check out the extension service of your state university for info as one step. Do you know your first expected frost date? That will help you to determine how many more days you have left to grow stuff.

Here in Missouri, our date is October 15. So I only have 45 days left for warm weather stuff. However, I could plant winter wheat, fall garlic, and stuff that is cold hardy, such as carrots, which I sometimes grow all winter.

My county publishes a month by month list of what to plant/do. You might not be that lucky, but try your local county extension and UGA.
