Hi... I am trying a fall garden for the first time. I found 2 links that pertain to my area, Eugene, Oregon, but the information is not the same, specifically, when to sow seeds outdoors and when to start them indoors. I am very new to this and am confused. Can you help me? Thank you. Jackie

Most tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, for example, require around 100 days to harvest, therefore you'd want to transplant those into the ground around July 11.
Fall is the time to plant garlic. Around September 4, take your cloves apart and plant the toes about 3 inches deep.
Cole crops like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage can be direct seeded into your garden around August 10, but because of the heat during that time of year, it's better to start them indoors around June 21 and then transplant them into the garden around July 31. Do the same with lettuce and spinach.
Sow peas directly around August 5.
Now, for all the usual hot weather veggies like beans, cowpeas, corn, squashes, pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, gourds and sunflowers, you should plant those seeds directly into the ground around July 6.
