Planting for Extended Harvest

Late summer is the time to plant if you want a longer harvest. You can sow all the "leaf" vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, spinach, arugula, chard, kale) plus onions, Brussels sprouts, and carrots now--for fall, winter, or even spring crops.

Sometimes spring-planted broccoli will continue producing for several months (depending on the severity of the winter). And you can also continue to harvest your root vegetables (carrots, beets, etc.) as long as the ground isn’t frozen. Don't let your harvest end when the weather gets cold!
