Document Summary
Most people who are interested in an edible garden are interested in growing vegetables. Our area is a great one for growing vegetables, but the key is to know what to plant and when to plant it. As you will learn in this topic we have two vegetable gardening seasons, one for cool season vegetables and a second for warm season vegetables. Before viewing the video program, read over the following pages of your textbook and answer the questions below. Cool season (702): grow best at temps from 10-15f below those needed by warm season types. Many have edible leaves or roots (lettuce, carrots) some grown for their immature flowers (artichokes, cauliflower) Success depends on bringing plants to maturity in cool weather- heat makes them bitter or bolt to seed. Require both warm soil and high temps with little cooling at night to grow steadily, produce harvest.
