Monthly Tip

It's good to plant winter vegetables so they have time to get established before cool winter weather arrives and the day length wanes. We recommend planting most cool-season vegetables in early fall. But you might still have luck transplanting leafy greens such as lettuce,  arugula, spinach, and kale, and fast growers like radishes and cilantro even later. In our vegetable planting chart, check the months when planting might work. Remember that vegetables need at least 6 hours of sun for strong, healthy growth.
