what food crops are grown in massachusetts
Potatoes grow especially well in Massachusetts, surviving in a wide range of soils. They do best, however, in well-drained loamy or sandy soil. Sweet potatoes need a longer and warmer growing season and do not do as well in the state. Carrots, as a cool-season crop, do well.
Corn. Corn is one of the major vegetables grown in Massachusetts and throughout New England. Both sweet corn and ornamental corn grows well in the soil. Wait until after the last frost date, when the soil temperature is above 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
