Fall Crops

Beets

Radishes

Earlier this week I posted about a frost that killed most of our tender annuals last week. Since then, we've had three days in row of 80+ degree temperatures. But the nights have still been down in the 40's. Sunny days and cool nights are perfect weather for Fall crops. At One Love Farm, we plant beets, carrots, radishes and arugula for Fall harvest. The cool nights give the veggies more flavor. Radishes taste crisper and spicier. Arugula gets its trademark peppery tang. Planting these crops in August and September is a lot of work. Especially when there is so much other stuff to do in the garden in late summer. But getting these veggies into November is definitely worth the effort.
