The key to success is to plant cool-season vegetables now for a more delicious harvest, said Don Fabbi, a master gardener for Nevada Cooperative Extension. And continue planting them until the end of March. The cooler weather results in slower growth and a sweeter product. There are fewer pests to contend with.
Less water is needed to get the plants started right.
There is less bolting or plants going to seed. The color of your veggies will be much richer. Don't throw away the seed packet like most gardeners do. It contains a wealth of information and is worth its weight in produce. Also, plant near your back door.
