Another advantage to fall planting? Fewer insect pests. As the temperature goes down, cold-blooded insects are entering winter dormancy. Even most weeds are growing more slowly. So less weeds competing for nutrients. You may even have less watering as well. In the cooler temps, water doesn’t evaporate out of the soil as quickly in the blazing heat of July.
