Growing frost-tolerant vegetables in the fall allows you to extend your growing season and continue enjoying fresh produce even as temperatures start to drop. Here are ten frost-tolerant vegetables that you can grow in the fall:
Kale: Kale is a cold-hardy leafy green that actually improves in flavor after exposure to light frost. Its sturdy leaves can withstand chilly temperatures, making it an excellent choice for fall gardens.
Spinach: Spinach is another leafy green that can handle frost well. It’s best to choose cold-resistant varieties for your fall garden, and you’ll have a fresh supply of nutritious greens well into the cooler months.
Lettuce: Certain lettuce varieties, such as Romaine and some loose-leaf types, can tolerate light frost. They can be grown in containers or directly in the ground.
Swiss Chard: Swiss chard is a colorful and nutrient-rich green that can withstand light frosts. Both the leaves and stems are edible and can be harvested throughout the fall.
