By the end of this month, there should be no excuse that you don't know all about fall vegetable gardens. There are so many vegetable seminars at local nurseries and other outlets in September that you will be well informed.

If you believe I missed a September event on the list below, call the GardenLine radio show this weekend and make an announcement. Or, e-mail the particulars to me early Saturday morning, and I'll make it for you. But as I write this tip sheet, all the classes I am aware of are below. Some have fees, and others are free. Try to visit at least one if you truly want to have a bountiful fall veggie garden.

In most cases, it is highly recommended that you make reservations, so I've included phone numbers and websites where available for each.
