Vegetables

* Make successive plantings of beets, beans, and carrots to be able to harvest into fall. Direct seed cool-season crops, such as broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts, into the garden. Place in the shade of taller heat-loving plants such as tomatoes and peppers, if possible.

* To obtain maximum pleasure and value from your vegetable garden, continue planting during the growing season. This provides a harvest until cold weather kills the plants.

* Before you spray an insecticide on your vegetables, check the label. Each insecticide has a time you mufet wait before you can harvest.

* Although tomatoes are self-pollinating, they need movement to transfer pollen. If it is hot and still for several days, gently shake plants for assured pollen transfer and fruit set. Hot temperatures can also interfere with blossom set.

* Drought and hot, dry winds can cause pepper and tomato blossoms to drop off. Try misting plants twice a day to cool them and help the blossoms set fruit.
