Josh, I have never planted a fall garden but my hydroponics is done so I'm thinking about planting some more tomatoes in it as we don't get much of a winter either. Pawpaw gene should chime in here shortly, I think he is our gardening expert. When I grow up, I want to be like him, well the knowledge anyway, not sure about the hat! :Rofl Sorry pawpaw, couldn't resist!
You can plant fall tomatoes right now and cucumbers during the 1st week of September, according to Almanac. Many people plant typical winter vegetables, such as lettuce, mustard greens, turnips, kale, brussel sprouts, carrots, among others. I enjoy gardening very much, although I don't usually grown a winter garden. This year, I think I will.
Hello Josh,
As Dwayne said there is plenty to plant. Myself I planted my okra late and will harvest until frost or I get tired. I planted about 180 feet of bush snap beans (Contenders). It's a great time to plant beets, turnips, mustard, cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower and more. I won't be doing it this year because I have the beans planted, but I like to plant some of each. Here is a link to LSU AG site showing what to plant and when, plus some other useful info. Page 3 and 4 had suggestion for spring and fall.
Dwayne you just wish you had a hat like mine to hang on your wall with your super duper king sze crappie jig.
Good luck Josh,

I plant all the same as in spring that are early maturing. I also plant all what has been previously mentioned. I will plant as soon as the garden dries out. It was tilled before the rains and settled in with the drainage slopes. I might try this weekend. These daily quick showers won't give me a break.
I'm going to plant most of what was mentioned, also mrs Williams and I are taking a 13 week garden class. I'm pretty excited about that.
Good deal Josh, you can never learn too much.

ps: any fish biting yet.
I'm ready for these perch to start bitting!!!
Yeah me too, as soon as I get my boat back from the shop. That will probably be another week or so.

I sunk 4 big grass sacks of soured corn in the fish house this weekend I hope it helps, first time I ever done that.
That ought to bring in more cats than you can herd cowboy.

It sure does mr gene!! Mrs Williams caught a nice mess of catfish this am around that corn.
I figured they'd be calling like a hillbilly smelling some sour mash.

The thing in Josh's favor is that he only has to walk a hundred yards or so to get to some great fishing. If he has 30 minutes to spare he can be fishing in great waters with no prep time. Rod, reel, hooks, and bait are on the scene, he just has to show up.
