Planting Tips
This is a great time to plant with plenty of moisture and seasonal temperatures. Here are some tips for a successful garden:
Succession Planting: Some crops benefit from being planted multiple times through the season. This works well for radishes, salad mix, spinach, arugula, cilantro, dill, bush beans, and carrots. Planting every 3-4 weeks ensures a continuous harvest.
