Considering onions are a staple ingredient in kitchens around the world, I’m surprised that more of us aren’t planting onions in the fall. Onions are most often planted in spring, but planting onions in the fall gives you a jump on an onion harvest and keeps your garden productive throughout the year. Planting onions in the fall is easier in some regions than others, of course, but you can make a plan to put your seeds or sets in the ground as the weather cools, even as far north as New Hampshire. In this article, I’ll cover the details of fall-planting these alliums, from the basics of onion growth to the best types of onions, garden preparation, and what to expect come springtime. Getting a head start on next year While I might like the idea of keeping my garden active year-round, selfishly, my top reason fo
Starbucks Adds a Pecan-Flavored Fall Drink to Its Menu

You may have thought you were set with Starbucks’s fall drink menu—what more could you want than its Apple Crisp Macchiato and Pumpkin Cream Chai? But it turns out you have a brand new creation to try out this year: The Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte takes everything there is to love about fall and combines it in a sweet, rich, and delightfully autumnal drink.
Patrick Penny, Starbucks’s lead beverage developer, said in a statement that the flavors were inspired by his grandmother’s very own homemade pecan pie. Now, you can sip on the classic fall dessert, whether you like it hot or iced (just because it’s fall doesn’t mean you need to give up your refreshingly-cold drinks).
Originally, the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte was meant to be included in Starbucks’s holiday menu lineup. But when customers got the chance to test it themselves, many believed that it gave off more of an all-season-long fall taste. Thanks to them, you're lucky enough to enjoy the drink throughout autumn.
So, what’s in the warmly-flavored fall beverage? It's crafted with Starbucks’s original Blonde Espresso and rich, pecan-pie-inspired pecan syrup, layered with notes of pecan, brown butter, and spices.
The hot version of the drink is topped with Starbucks’s new Pecan Crunch, while the iced version features nondairy Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam along with the crunchy pecan pieces. If the infamous Chestnut Praline drink topping is anything to go by, we already know this addition has the power to turn the drink into an all-time favorite.
The basic version of the Latte comes with Oatmilk, so it's completely nondairy—but you can always customize the milk options to match whatever you're craving.
