Cool-Season and Warm-Season Crops
The time for sowing depends upon where you live. What to plant depends upon the season and weather.
Vegetables are generally divided into two categories: cool-season crops and warm-season crops.
Cool-season crops should be planted so that they mature when the weather is cool, either in spring or early summer or in autumn or winter. Cool-season crops come to harvest in cool weather, either in spring or fall or winter. Cool-season crops can be planted when the soil and air temperatures are cool, as low as 40ºF (5ºC). Mature cool-season crops can survive in temperatures near freezing without protection. Cool-season crops do not do well in the warmest summer temperatures.
Warm-season crops should be planted so that they mature when the weather is warm, when the soil and air temperatures are above 50ºF (10ºC). They will grow best when the temperature is 75ºF (24ºC) or warmer. Warm-season vegetables can be grown out of their season if they are protected from temperatures below 50ºF (10ºC).
