Yes, fall is here, but temps are still warm. You still have time to plant a fall garden full of fast-growing vegetables. If you plant now, your garden will have time to produce before the first frost. Keep the soil in your garden warm by using plastic sheeting to trap heat in the soil.

Here are some ideas from the UrbanFarmerSeeds.com, that would be a great start to your fall garden:
Blueberries
Fall is the perfect time to plant blueberries. Fall planting will allow for good root growth and early growth this coming spring.
Broccoli
In warmer climates, use a quick growing Broccoli variety. Plant now to harvest later this fall and early winter.
Garlic
Plant garlic in the fall for an abundant and early harvest this coming spring.
Lettuce
Plant lettuce late summer for a fall crop. Choose a fast-maturing lettuce variety.
Radishes
Did you know you can plant radishes now and harvest them in 30 days?
Spinach
Spinach is more of a cool-weather vegetable and is great to grow in September for a late fall/winter harvest.
