Seasonal Planting

This area really has only three distinct growing times:
  • Spring (February–May) is a good time for beets, some beans, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chard, chives, collards, corn, cucumber, eggplant, herbs, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, mustard, okra, onions, most peas, peppers, potatoes, radishes, spinach, squash, tomatoes, turnips and watermelon.
  • Sizzling Summer (June–August) is the high temperature period when the wind blows and the rain goes away. This is the time where beans, eggplant, jalapenos, chili petins (pequins) and okra do well and thrive as long as they can get enough water.
  • Fall (September–January) is probably the best growing season for the majority of plants. In addition to many of the spring plants mentioned above, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, celery, kale, kohlrabi and leeks do well. Fall is the premier season for tomatoes, starting off hot to get the plants up and cooling down so they don't burn to a crisp.
