Certified ExpertA.There is not a simple yes or no answer. There are some considerations.
It is not likely that the black tar spot disease with be transmitted to the vegetable plants. If it is maple black tar spot, the disease infects maples and not necessarily other plants.
But the big consideration is: if the maple trees are in the vicinity of the veggie garden where you are spreading the infected leaves, that the spores will be transmitted back into the maple tree new growth in spring.
It is safer to compost or dispose of the infected leaves.
"Start by raking all your maple’s fallen leaves and burning, bagging or composting them to eliminate the closest source of tar spot spores. If you leave the fallen leaves on the ground until spring, the spores on them will likely re-infect the new foliage and start the cycle again."

December 9, 2019Q.If a vegetable garden is not harvested, will it make a crop in the next season?
A person has a vegetable garden with a crop ready to pick. The person becomes unable to harvest the crop, and the garden is essentially abandoned. Would the seeds of the unharvested crop grow a new vegetable crop in the next season? Are some vegetables more likely to do this than others?

Certified ExpertA.It is very common to have volunteers come up even if the garden is harvested, as some fruit will still fall and disperse seeds. However, it is generally recommended to collect seeds and plant new. Here is why:

Certified ExpertA.The average last frost is mid February so you can start planting veggies soon. You can plant almost year round in this warm climate. This article tells month by month what vegetables can be planted:

44089Q.Planning And Plotting Out Where To Plant Veggies
I'm in the beginning stages of planting my first garden and I'm so confused as to where to plant what. I know taller veggies should go in the middle or on the "far side" as to not shade out the shorter plants. Thanks for any tips you can give me.

Certified ExpertA.There are quite a few ways to go about this, actually! My preference is planting longways, from East to West with tallest plants on the north side. Then choose spots for each, based on companionship.
