Sowing Fall Vegetables
Vegetables that mature under cool temps are mild, crisp and delicious. The finest radishes are grown in fall—you’ll notice the difference. Sow them in early to mid-August.
Flea beetles can be a problem. Protect plants with floating row covers or be prepared to spray the leaf-munching pests with insecticides.
