etables should be planted in August or early September at the latest in most sections of Virginia. For hardy crops like cabbage, cauliflower, and collards, count back from you average first frost date the number of days the particular variety requires to mature and plant at that time. For halfhardy crops like beets and carrots, allow an additional week. For tender crops like beans and sweet corn, allow an extra two weeks to be sure an early frost does not kill your vegetables before they mature.
Snap bean, tomato and pepper flowers may fail to develop fruit when daytime temperatures rise above 90 degrees F.
Here is a quick-and-easy method for reducing your slug population, especially if you are squeamish about the little devils: put out squares of cardboard in you garden each night. In the morning, pick them up, and if there are any slugs clinging to the underside, discard the whole square in a trash bag. The number and size of the squares depend on the size of your garden and how heavy the infestation of slugs. No need for the messy and tedium-, process of hand picking each one.
