Planting Root veggies -Fall Harvest zone 2?
Comments (2)Where exactly do you live? In Saskatchewan, carrots should have already been planted, although it is not too late to seed now. Turnips should also go in within the next week. Keep in mind that most fall veggies tolerate frost, so don't go by the first frost date. Go by the first -5 degrees C date as this is usually when those veggies start to decline unless protection is provided. Beets can be seeded in mid to late July. There are lots of non-root fall veggies that can be planted as late as late August here. Look at the DTM and add 2 weeks plus typical time to germination, then count backwards....See MoreFall/Winter planting zone 9
Comments (3)My zone is just a scosh cooler than yours but it is a bit late to start some of these plants from seed here.......generally it is recommended that fall veggie seeds be started at the end of July for planting out right about now. The point is to have them achieve a certain state of growth before cold weather and/or frosts hit. And zone 9 is NOT frost free :-) The roots crops - beets, carrots - and the peas still have plenty of time from seed but I might consider purchasing starts of the brassicas at your local garden center. Potatoes are best planted in spring. Even though they are considered a cool season veg, they need some heat to develop a good plant and encourage flowering before really hot weather sets in. And early summer heat helps with warm soils to develop the tubers......soils in fall begin to cool down and that will restrict the development of the tubers....See Moredates to start seeds indoors for fall - zone 7a

Comments (17)ddkcat, Great idea about the teabags. My concern is that I am a novice at extracting seeds and I don't want you to get the short-end of the stick because if it. Since I am most interested in the tomato seeds, and it will be months before I will be planting them, I propose that I send you the zinnias (I will send you 90% of my large zinnia seeds), you plant them and then if what I send you passes muster then you can send me seeds from your stash that is commensurate with what I sent you, my order of preference is Black Prince, Rutgers and Persimmon tomatoes and then the rudbeckias and the oakleaf lettuce. I hope that makes sense and is an OK proposal....See Moremarciaz3 Tropical 3 Northwestern Ontario
