PLANTING COOL-SEASON VEGETABLES Print E-mail

Gary Gao reminded the group that April is typically a good time to plant cool-season vegetables in the home gardens. Currently, there are great variations in soil moisture levels across the state of Ohio. If the soil is workable, planting the cool season vegetables now is a good way to kick-off the growing season. Some of the common cool season vegetables are spinach, lettuce, peas radishes, Brussels sprout, broccoli, cabbage, mustard greens, and Swiss chard. Other vegetables that can be planted now are asparagus, rhubarb, and onions.

More information can be found in a collection of OSU Extension FactSheets at the following website: [ http://ohioline.osu.edu/lines/vegie.html ]. Commercial vegetable growers can get more information by purchasing a copy of OSU Extension Bulletin 670, "Ohio Vegetable Production Guide" from their local extension office or download the Bulletin at the following website: [ http://ohioline.osu.edu/b672/index.html ]
