>>I'm surprised a bit by the cole crops
going in through July. (I'm a
newbie though so lots of things surprise me!) But I thought they would bolt if exposed to summer heat. If I understood you guys right, you'll be planting seeds of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts with the intention of transplanting them out in 4-6 weeks? That's what I do. I'm in
Maine. Our summers can be very hot (100* days last summer, 90*+ already
this year). As long as the plants are forming heads during heat I have no
problem with them. I choose varieties that are longer to maturity than the
plants I set out in early spring.
>>I'm also a little surprised by the lettuce. I didn't think it would grow in July-August heat? Joe
Boone County,. IA 5a Choose varieties that do well in heat and watch them
closely. Keep them well watered. Anuenue is one of my favorite summer
varieties.
