FALL VEGETABLE VARIETIES
Dr.
Jerry M. Parsons, Extension Horticulturist
and
David Rodriguez, Extension County Agent-Horticulture
The following dates correspond to the time span during which plants can be grown directly from seeds sown in the garden area. If one decides to plant a certain crop which the recommended dates indicate is too late to seed directly into the garden area in a specific region, then transplants must be used. The dates insure success only if recommended, fast-maturing varieties are used.
