Owen Sullivan's profileThis week's storms remind me why October gardening here is such a gamble; the rain and wind can wash out even the hardiest new plantings. If you're setting out vegetables, try raised beds to keep roots from drowning.

Isaiah Quintero's profileYou’re speaking the truth; October’ll test your patience and your plants. I’ve found a good mulch layer helps too, keeps that soil steady after a heavy downpour. What veggies are you planting this year?
Yesenia Jimenez's profileSeconded on raised beds. I use coir instead of peat in mine; holds water but drains. Worth trying if you’ve had root rot before. What's in your garden this fall?
