It’s now getting late in the year for sowing and planting, but there is still time for lettuces, chicory, endives, and other salad leaves as well as for fast-growing varieties of peas, beetroots, and carrots. If you’ve now harvested all your broad beans, garlic, onions, and shallots, there may be enough space to transplant any Brussels sprouts, cabbages, and cauliflowers that you’ve raised from seed in pots.
There are plenty of vegetable plants that like the heat and do well with a mid-summer planting in New England.
Here are some ideas:
-
- Arugula
- Basil (Transplants)
