I would like some advice on what I can plant now to harvest this fall? I am in South-Central Illinois. I know I'm a little late but I thought there might be a few things yet. I was planning on planting more green beans, carrots, turnips and maybe some sweet potatoes. I think, though, it is too late for sweet potatoes?

Might be a little late for the sweet potatoes. I'm not one to talk since I just planted about a dozen three weeks ago. If you have space, it's always worth a try. They won't be huge, but some folks say that sweet potato just gets sweeter after a light frost.

I'm in Northwestern Illinois and I'm gearing up my fall garden now. The goal is for winter squash, carrots, (more) onions, and cabbage.

I'm near Effingham, and have put out Garden peas, beets, carrots for fall. Probably too late for sweet 'taters. I still will put out some more lettuce, but not until this hot spell passes.
Turnips are a good choice. You might give broccoli a try, too, if it's an early variety. You could also do some annual herbs.

Radishes, spinach, swiss chard, lettuce.

Don't forget to plant some garlic now, to be harvested next year!

Rosemama, I'm only about an hour and a half away from you. We live in Sumner which is close to Olney. I thought it might be late for the sweet taters too.
