What many people do not know what kind of vegetables, especially vegetables. Decide on a place to grow vegetables and when growing vegetables of the three most important factors are: winter minimum temperatures, frost-free period and the length of the day.
Winter minimum temperature:
Frost-free period:
The length of the frost-free period a vegetable growing season. Frost-free period refers to the last frost in spring (latest Frost day) to the first frost in the fall (first frost days) number of days. Some vegetables (like summer vegetables) can only be grown in frost-free period, some vegetables (such as spring and autumn vegetables) in times of frost can grow. In the United States there are many channels to find out where the frost-free period, including, well, old farmer's Almanac (Old Farmer's Almanac) and Dave's Garden (Dave's Garden) Web site. Enter your zip code, you can look up your House and garden of frost.
The length of the day:
Is directly related to the length of the day and season. The days are short in winter, summer days are long. Spring day from short to long, autumn day changed from long to short. Some vegetables during the day-long season of bloom, flower when days are short, some vegetables, some vegetables regardless of day length, flower child-bearing age.
I in the United States grew vegetables for several years in the North, summed up the experience. Of course, the United States North of vast microclimates vary widely. In addition, there are a lot of factors (topography of the yard, vegetable, vegetable sunshine duration, etc) will affect the food time. United States North, from early spring to early winter vegetables generally are as follows:
Spring-spring:
In late March and early April, there can be direct seeded vegetables be cruciferous vegetables (such as bean sprouts, cabbage, vegetable, potherb mustard, broccoli dish, and ocean take radish radish), chrysanthemum, spinach, leeks, celery and winter vegetables. During this time you can transplant the leeks and asparagus. Lettuce can be planted directly in the ground, but the best is the seedling after transplanting.
Can start seedlings, vegetables are tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, lettuce, wheat and various melons (such as cucumber, bitter melon, pumpkin, gourd, melon, watermelon, huzi and melon). Summer species of plants and a variety of legumes (such as snap beans, black-eyed peas and green beans) breeding at this time, but can wait until early summer and directly in the fields. Cultivation of summer vegetable seedlings in early spring should pay attention to two points: one is to have plenty of sunshine, seedlings of two such is not freezing.
Late April to early May, can lower brain, Malabar spinach and vegetables are chrysanthemums Jerusalem artichokes.
Late spring and early summer:
Around mother's day earlier fertility of summer vegetable seedlings (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, wheat and various melons) can be transplanted. Before transplanting seedlings, be sure to look at the 10-day weather forecast, if you have cold weather, summer vegetable seedlings to delay transplant. Has been transplanting rice seedlings, at low temperatures, warm and prevent summer vegetable seedlings died.
Direct sowing beans in late May (if the spring is not breeding) or transplanted with bean sprouts (if Spring has been breeding). This time can be fields of vegetables and taro, corn, amaranth and peanuts. This time I had a transplanted Chinese celery. The funny thing is, usually half of the celery will blossom in the summer, while the other half does, even the same species.
In mid-May, spring, vegetables of the season, to make time to eat vegetables, no time to eat or not eat, spring vegetable flowers set seed, can only be used for composting.
Summer:
In June and July, you can trial Greens leafy vegetables such as cabbage, eating their food plants (some place called chicken dish). United States where there is a small insect called the flea beetle (flea beetles), particularly like to eat green vegetables cabbage seedlings, often overnight, just unearthed the seedlings eaten. So this time I'm not kind of cruciferous vegetables.
Late summer and early autumn:
The beginning of August, in the North can start to kind of fall vegetable. This time to sow vegetables and sown in early spring vegetables (parsley, lettuce, yellow bean sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, chrysanthemum, spinach, potherb mustard). If the vegetable is relatively small, these vegetable seedlings, transplanting after harvest of summer vegetables such as tomatoes.
In early August, autumn lettuce can also start breeding. Autumn lettuce best directly sown into the ground, watermelon this time because the ground insects and slugs more rampant, live into the fields of lettuce seedlings are likely eaten by an insect.
For most varieties, late July and early August can be sown directly, but some varieties, sown earlier in early August, radish hollowness, about half a month later to grow.
Half past autumn:
By September, vegetable plots of summer vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, and beans) are all the clean up. September is autumn in the evening is very strong, a month before finishing a good vegetable seedlings can be transplanted to the field. If August is no nursery, growing vegetables is a little too late, but can also be directly sowing fall vegetable such as cabbage vegetables in the vegetable, although no longer great, but can still gain a lot in a few weeks.
Late autumn and early winter:
In late October and November if the weather was not very cold, can sow winter spinach and cilantro in the vegetable garden. After the first heavy frost, you can kind of garlic in the vegetable garden.
By December, temperatures lower day by day, United States North (5-6) had no vegetables in the fields. Looking out the window the flying snow, eating baked sweet potatoes from the fireplace, comfort yourself: If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
