We can take the heat

(and humidity)• Basils• Texas Tarragon• Lemon Grass• Pineapple Sage• Mexican Oregano

We prefer the cool season• Cilantro (or Coriander) – Grows like a weed!

Plant Culantro or Vietnamese coriander for the summer.

• Dill - Grows fall to spring. Don’t expect to see us around when the cukes come in.

• Lettuces add color to the winter garden – We need a little protection in cold snaps.

• Cabbage, kale, mustards and many other specialty greens thrive and are ornamental and edible.

• Arugula prefers cool. Survives both winter cold and the heat of summer.

Cool Season Gardens
