Summer is in full swing and it has me thinking about all the tasty fall crops I can still sow and harvest in the two months before a\u00a0frost is likely in my area<\/a>. So if you are also right up against the two-month mark and also want to squeeze in just a little more gardening, I suggest trying frost-tolerant crops (also called “cool season”). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several of the frost-tolerant crops I grow are even more enjoyable in late summer because cool temperatures of fall will sweeten my leafy greens (kale is particularly improved by a kiss of fall frost), and I can worry less about pests and\u00a0bolting<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you may notice that these crops seem to take longer-and you’re correct! Late summer\/early fall crops may take a couple of more weeks to reach maturity than usual as hours of daylight shorten and temperatures cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try 10 of My Favorite Varieties To Sow in Late Summer. They Will Not Disappoint!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Arugula<\/a>\u00a0sown in late summer\/fall provides a mellower flavor, and attracts flea beetles less than spring-sown crops.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Beets<\/a>\u00a0are silky, earthy, and delicious. We love them roasted, pickled, or raw.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Broccoli Raab<\/a>\u00a0is so fast, and what a delicacy! You can cut it 2\u20133 times and keep enjoying the delicate, slightly spicy flavor for weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Collards<\/a>\u00a0are heat tolerant and survive to 20\u00b0F, which lends to my love of this productive, heirloom green.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Kale<\/a>\u00a0just keeps on going past first frost, getting sweeter, and adding depths to soups, and diversity to fall salads.‘Dwarf Blue Curled’<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0‘Redbor’<\/a>\u00a0are exceptionally cold tolerant and the latter’s purple color intensifies after frost.\u00a0‘Lacinato Dinosaur’<\/a>\u00a0is my favorite!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Kohlrabi<\/a>\u00a0has the crunch of an apple and is mildly sweet with a touch of a mild radish flavor. I love it raw with a sprinkle of salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Lettuce<\/a>\u00a0is a staple in my garden all summer long, and I love to grow a bunch of different varieties, but always the\u00a0‘Marvel of Four Seasons’<\/a>\u00a0that glows cranberry red as the days shorten, and\u00a0‘Little Gem’<\/a>\u00a0that forms a perfect, small romaine head. Both are very heat and frost tolerant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Peas<\/a>\u00a0are for fall, too!\u00a0‘Oregon Sugar Pod II’<\/a>\u00a0is my favorite pea for fall because it is not only delicious, but also mildew resistant, an issue I often battle in the late summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Radishes<\/a>\u00a0are always welcome in our kitchen, and late summer is the time to sow winter radishes because they only form during shortening days. I grow\u00a0daikon<\/a>\u00a0(If you’ve never tried daikon you are missing out! It is easy, great for the soil, and delicious.);\u00a0black radishes<\/a>; and the stunning, scarlet centered,\u00a0watermelon radish<\/a>. When you remove (and eat) the greens these radishes store for a month or more in the crisper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Spinach<\/a>\u00a0is also sweetened with cooling temperatures and can over-winter, even in my climate (USDA zone 5B). I like to sow some every couple of weeks, so I have plenty of fresh spinach on hand; any extra I quickly blanch and freeze, and the last succession will overwinter giving me early spring greens.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There’s more to grow, too! Check out other quick crops like cucumbers, mustards, summer squash, and turnips. Get the full list and read more about our most frost-tolerant crops and crops that can survive in winter (with a little help)<\/a>. Well, those garden beds aren’t going to prep themselves; I better get sowing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
