SUMMER/Autumn CROPs From Seeds

(Best planted FEB/MaR-Start Seeds indoor

to MAY/june/July – sow outdoor directly)

It’s a great feeling to see your plants growing from seeds you’ve sown. Personally, I have sown 80% of my summer crop from seeds and the feeling is wonderful. Though most of the seedlings(from seeds you sow yourself) are slower to grow into full-fledge plants than off–the-shelf ones, what you need is patience(and a little luck) and you will be smiling throughout summer! Also, be adventurous - You can virtually sow seeds at anytime!

Beans(Sow outdoor directly and only when night temperature > 60 deg f)	Sunflowers
Melons	Cilantro
Squash	Parsley
Radishes	Chili
