Brussels sprouts are slow-growing, long-season vegetables belonging to the cabbage family. The sprouts look like miniature cabbages and form where the leaves meet the stems. Freshly harvested, lightly steamed sprouts are a delight. Grow in summer for fall harvest, similar to a fall cabbage or broccoli crop.

Start inside and transplant or direct plant about 3 months before the first frost. Plant 18” to 24” apart. Prefers well-drained, fertile soil high in organic matter, pH 6.0 to 7.5. Can tolerate slightly alkaline soil. Needs plentiful, consistent moisture.

Because Brussels sprouts take so long to mature, your best bet is to plant them in midsummer so that they reach full maturity in the cool fall months. Plan to put them in your garden about 3 months before the first frost for your area.

Harvest when sprouts are 1-2” in diameter. Waiting until after the first frost before harvesting will increase the flavor of your Brussels sprouts.

Careful attention to the soil makes these Vitamin A-rich roots a snap to grow. Plant in deep, stone-free soil (a raised bed is great) with a fine surface. Thin and weed carefully, and mulch to keep soil cool. Carrots must be planted DIRECTLY in the ground. You cannot transplant root vegetables.

Plant in spring, 2 to 3 weeks before last frost, ½ inch deep, ½ inch apart, in rows 12 to 24 inches apart. Deeply worked soil with fine, weed-free seedbed will greatly improve chances of successful crop. Carrots are slow to germinate (1 to 3 weeks), and often germinate unevenly over a period of several weeks. To speed germination, water lightly daily if soil is dry. To improve germination in dry weather: Make a small furrow, about 2 inches deep. Plant seed and cover with about ½ inch of soil. Cover furrow with a board or plastic to retain soil moisture until seeds germinate.

Thinning is critical to reduce competition from neighboring plants. Thin to 1- to 4-inch spacings (depending on size of root desired) before plants are 2 inches tall. Cutting rather than pulling reduces disturbance of the remaining plants. Timed harvesting allows you to have baby carrots in a few weeks and full-grown carrots in a couple of months!

Capsicum encompasses a wide array of flavorful peppers used in modern cuisines all over the world. Cayenne pepper, one of the most popular hot peppers, is native to French Guiana, but is now widely used in Mexico and the U.S. Hot peppers thrive on full sun, warm weather, well-drained soil and modest fertility. Peppers should be started indoors approximately 8 weeks prior to the last frost of the spring. Sow ¼" deep in a well-drained starting medium. Seeds require lots of warmth to germinate; medium should be between 80-85 degrees F. Using a heat mat, available at home and garden store and elsewhere, can help to ensure ideal conditions. Additionally, young starts will fare much better with additional light. Place in a window or sunny location that receives lots of southern or southwestern sun exposure. Consider supplementing with artificial lighting if possible.

Transplant in warm weather and sunny location 12-14” apart. Wait until soil temperatures exceed 50 degrees F at all times before placing into the ground. Pepper plants should be fairly close to one another, so that there is slight contact between plants. Peppers need a steady supply of water for best performance. If fertilizing, be careful not to overdo it on nitrogen as this can deter fruit growth. Organic fertilizers and soil should be rich in phosphorus, potassium and calcium.Harvest when peppers turn red on the plant. Typically 50-65 days from planting. To save seeds wait until the peppers have gone past ripeness before harvesting, remove the seeds and leave them on a plate to dry for 2 weeks. `

CAYENNE Peppers Cucumbers are very sensitive to cold. They need warm soil and air, whether direct-seeded or transplanted. Don’t rush to plant too early. Seed will not germinate if soil temperature is below 50 F, and germinates only slowly at 68 F.For extra early crops, start plants inside 3 to 5 weeks before transplanting. Sow 3 seeds per pot in 2-inch pots. Thin to one or two plants per pot. Grow above 70 F during the day and above 60 F at night. Be careful when hardening-off plants not to expose them to cold temperatures.

Cucumbers are one of the easiest vegetables to grow from seed. Delicious in salads, cold soup and as sauces and dressings. They are not hard to grow if you provide good soil, plenty of moisture and full sun and wait for soil and weather to warm before planting,

Cucumbers can be started indoors in peat pots or small flats and transplanted to the garden a couple weeks thereafter but only when all danger of frost has passed. Before you move them to the garden, however, harden the cucumber plants off in a protected location to lessen any stress that may occur during transplanting.

Transplant 8 to 15 inches apart in full sun or direct-seed 1 to 1 ½ inches deep, in rows (2 inches apart in rows 5 to 6 feet apart) Thin to 8 to 15 inches apart in rows or 2 to 3 plants per hill. Snip off plants when thinning to avoid disturbing the roots of nearby plants.

Cucumbers are one of the easiest vegetables to grow from seed. Delicious in salads, cold soup and as sauces and dressings. They are not hard to grow if you provide good soil, plenty of moisture and full sun and wait for soil and weather to warm before planting,

Cucumbers can be started indoors in peat pots or small flats and transplanted to the garden a couple weeks thereafter but only when all danger of frost has passed. Before you move them to the garden, however, harden the cucumber plants off in a protected location to lessen any stress that may occur during transplanting.

Transplant 8 to 15 inches apart in full sun or direct-seed 1 to 1 ½ inches deep, in rows (2 inches apart in rows 5 to 6 feet apart) Thin to 8 to 15 inches apart in rows or 2 to 3 plants per hill. Snip off plants when thinning to avoid disturbing the roots of nearby plants.

The tender young leaves from these fast-growing plants can be eaten raw, or cooked for soup or in stir fries. Very cold hardy, harvest can continue right through snow.

Prefers full sun in spring and fall, but can benefit from light shade during hot weather. Prefers well-drained, fertile soil high in organic matter, Prefers plentiful, consistent moisture. Start indoors and transplant in spring 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost, 12 inches apart, rows 18 to 24 inches apart or direct seed about three months before expected fall frost. Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 18 to 24 inches apart. Thin to 12- to 18-inch spacings. Eat or transplant the thinnings.

Harvest the larger leaves from the bottom of the plant first and allow the higher leaves to grow bigger. This “selective harvesting” will allow you to harvest from a single plant for many months.

For more than 5,000 years, Romaine lettuce been popular in some parts of the world, dating back to the ancient Egyptians. It is still commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine but has become a staple in other parts of the world, particularly Europe and North America.Lettuce grows best in full sun, though excessive heat can cause plants to bolt to seed, or leaves to wilt. For an early start, seeds can be started in flats 4 weeks prior to the last frost and transplanted outdoors in mid to late spring. If growing in summer, select a partially shaded location, or one that receives primarily eastward exposure to mitigate the potentially damaging effects of excessive heat upon lettuce.Direct seed or transplant in early spring, as soon as you can work the soil. For direct seeding, sow seeds 1/8 inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart. When plants have two or three true leaves, thin to 12-inch spacings. You can also lightly broadcast seed in a patch instead of a row. For transplanting sow in 1-inch cells 3 to 4 weeks before transplanting outside. Transplant 12 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart. Harvest the larger leaves from the bottom of the plant first and allow the higher leaves to grow bigger. This “selective harvesting” will allow you to harvest from a single plant for many months.

A garden favorite, peas are one of the first vegetables that you'll plant and harvest in spring. The crisp texture and sweet taste of fresh peas embodies spring. Ancient peoples foraged for peas in the wild long before they were domesticated. Like sweet corn, peas are at their tastiest immediately after harvest.Prefers well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade. It is best to direct plant rather than transplant. Sow seed in spring as soon as you can work the soil - as early as late March or early April depending on how quickly the soil warms and dries. Peas planted in cold soil (40 F) are slow to germinate. Later plantings made when the soil is warmer (60 F or more) often catch up quickly with earlier plantings. Use raised beds if your soil is slow to drain. Make additional plantings through early- to mid- May, or plant varieties with different maturity dates to increase the harvest period.Plant seeds 1 to 2 inches deep, 1 to 4 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart. Or sow about 1 inch apart in a 3-inch-wide band (about 25 seeds per foot).   Shallow planting is best when soils are cool and wet. Plant deeper if soil is dry. A quick way to seed is to make a furrow or trench with a hoe, place seed in the furrow, cover and firm. Do not thin.

You can begin harvesting your peas as snow peas for fresh salads as soon as they appear! Oregon Sugar Pod has the sweetest, crispy snow peas we have found! For fully mature snap peas wait until the pods are full and ripe, then harvest and snap open the pods for fresh mature peas. The more you harvest peas, the more they will grow. Plant in 1-month successions for the longest season harvest.

Easy to grow and ready to harvest in just 3 to 6 weeks, radishes are a favorite of young, first-time gardeners. Radishes can be grown in containers or in the garden. They should not be transplanted since they are a root vegetable and only suited to direct planting in the ground.

Prefers well-drained, loose soil, high in organic matter, free from stones. Needs plentiful, consistent moisture. Grows best in cool (50 F to 65 F), moist weather. Hot weather reduces quality and increases pungency. About 3 to 6 weeks before average last frost, direct seed ½ inch deep, 1 inch apart, in rows 12 inches apart. Thin to about 2-inch spacings. Crowded plants may not produce high-quality roots. Use thinnings in salads.For continuous harvest, make additional plantings every 1 to 2 weeks until temperatures average in the mid 60s F, or plant varieties with different maturity dates in a single planting.

The most popular garden vegetable crop, tomatoes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors. Rio Grande comes from the Italian strain of paste tomatoes. Gardeners in southern regions appreciate this excellent tomato as one of the best paste tomatoes available for hot climates.

Tomatoes require a long growing season, and are best started indoors 6 weeks before the anticipated transplanting date (after the final frost of the spring). For best results, sow seeds ½" deep in a well-drained, soilless starting mix. Seeds require warm soil between roughly 65-90 degrees F. Warmer soils will promote faster germination. Keep soil moist, but not soggy while awaiting germination. Moderate watering slightly once seedlings break through the soil.

Tomato plants prefer well-drained, fertile soil, high in organic matter. Fertile clays and loams produce the highest yields, but lighter soils that drain and warm quickly can produce earlier harvests. Tomato is a heavy feeder and should be fertilized with an organic blend rich in phosphorus and potassium, and containing moderate nitrogen.Tomatoes need at least 8 hours of direct sun daily, and will develop faster with increased exposure. If possible, grow on a slight slope with southern or southeastern exposure. Tomatoes are native to tropical regions, and have the greatest light needs of any standard garden vegetable.

Unlike most plants, tomatoes do better if planted deeper than they were grown in containers. Set them in the ground so that the soil level is just below the lowest leaves. Roots will form along the buried stem, establishing a stronger root system.Harvest when tomatoes are fully red and ripe. Harvest often to promote more growth!

Easy to grow and ready to harvest in just 3 to 6 weeks, radishes are a favorite of young, first-time gardeners. Radishes can be grown in containers or in the garden. They should not be transplanted since they are a root vegetable and only suited to direct planting in the ground.

Prefers well-drained, loose soil, high in organic matter, free from stones. Needs plentiful, consistent moisture. Grows best in cool (50 F to 65 F), moist weather. Hot weather reduces quality and increases pungency. About 3 to 6 weeks before average last frost, direct seed ½ inch deep, 1 inch apart, in rows 12 inches apart. Thin to about 2-inch spacings. Crowded plants may not produce high-quality roots. Use thinnings in salads.For continuous harvest, make additional plantings every 1 to 2 weeks until temperatures average in the mid 60s F, or plant varieties with different maturity dates in a single planting. Resume planting when weather cools in fall.Because they

The most popular garden vegetable crop, tomatoes come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors. Rio Grande comes from the Italian strain of paste tomatoes. Gardeners in southern regions appreciate this excellent tomato as one of the best paste tomatoes available for hot climates.

Tomatoes require a long growing season, and are best started indoors 6 weeks before the anticipated transplanting date (after the final frost of the spring). For best results, sow seeds ½" deep in a well-drained, soilless starting mix. Seeds require warm soil between roughly 65-90 degrees F. Warmer soils will promote faster germination. Keep soil moist, but not soggy while awaiting germination. Moderate watering slightly once seedlings break through the soil.

Tomato plants prefer well-drained, fertile soil, high in organic matter. Fertile clays and loams produce the highest yields, but lighter soils that drain and warm quickly can produce earlier harvests. Tomato is a heavy feeder and should be fertilized with an organic blend rich in phosphorus and potassium, and containing moderate nitrogen.Tomatoes need at least 8 hours of direct sun daily, and will develop faster with increased exposure. If possible, grow on a slight slope with southern or southeastern exposure. Tomatoes are native to tropical regions, and have the greatest light needs of any standard garden vegetable.

Unlike most plants, tomatoes do better if planted deeper than they were grown in containers. Set them in the ground so that the soil level is just below the lowest leaves. Roots will form along the buried stem, establishing a stronger root system.Harvest when tomatoes are fully red and ripe. Harvest often to promote more growth!
