Time to Think About Cold Weather Crops

Broccoli romanesco

Cole Crops or Brassicas like Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Kohlrabi. You can also frow another crop of leaf lettuce, spinach, and radish if you sow NOW. (This is assumung the first frost comes in mid-October.) Rutabagas are supposed to be planted in the fall only, and you might be able to get away with planting turnips and mustard greens, too. Now's also the time to plant garlic and shallot bulbs for their emergence in spring.
