Dear Arti:
Question: What vegetables should we be planting or sowing now in Ireland?? – David
Answer: Hi David,
Here’s how you can figure out which plants will grow in what months no matter where you live. First, find the data of the average high and the average low temperature of each month in your location.
Then, make a list of crops you’d like to grow. Once you have your crop list, look up what the temperature growing range is for each of the crops you want to grow and how long they take to mature. Where would that crop fit on the calendar of the average high and low temperatures?
For further learning, check out the Beginning Crop Planning Micro Course.
