Get Ready for Cool Crops

Hey everyone,

For current gardeners, we are reaching the end of the hot weather crops. If you planted crops, they will still produce in the weeks/months to come but additional hot weather crops planted will not return large yields and small plant starters may not grow strong enough roots and get scorched. Wait until mid-September to plant cool crops in the ground. Of course, you may do as you like if you have special heat tolerant varieties they may be okay. See this guide for crops to plant: http://www.lagardenblog.com/2010/11/month-by-month-planting-guide-for.html

If you recently have got a plot or your summer crops have already perished, simply keep your plot clean until planting in September.

-Happy Gardening
