Recommended varieties of vegetables for fall months. Please add to this list in your comments if you have actually grown a variety you liked, not one you read about and it was under desert conditions. Thanks!

Great List, thank you for posting - I am in the Phoenix metro area. I would add Chantenay Red to your carrot list - super performer and tastes sweet and wonderful no matter what size you harvest it at.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised to see green beans listed as being able to plant into December. I thought they were more of a warm season crop.
ReplyDeleteYou can be right on the beans but in the hot desert they don't perform well in the summer. Not sure where you have your garden. In the Las Vegas area we typically have 55 to 60 F degree days in December and January. If you cover the garden spot with clear plastic they will pop up in a few days. If you plant in cold soils (heavy and wet and some shade) you do run the risk of stem rot and poor germination. In particular Dragon Tongue variety of green beans I have had trouble with in cooler weather.
