 WINTER CROP

Winter crops are annual crops sown in autumn and are harvested in

spring or summer. winter crops commonly include cereals such as
wheat, barley, oats and triticale; oilseeds such as canola, mustard and
safflower and pulses such as lupins, chickpeas, fababeans and
fieldpeas.

Winter crops grow like normal crops as in they take some time to the
ground, and then they sprout. However, if you plant winter crops in
Spring, they will sprout in Summer, so when you are going through
your garden and pulling the crops for this season, plant some of the
followings for the fall.

 WHEN TO PLANT

Plant most vegetables in July for fall, winter, and spring harvests.
Exceptions to this are alliums: plant onions in July, garlic and shallots in
October for harvesting the following summer.

 HOW TO PLANT

Vegetables can be directly sown from seed, transplanted from own starts, or
purchased at a garden center. Use only plants that are specifically designated for fall
planting.
• We have to Choose a site that gets at least eight hours of direct sunlight each day.
• Take advantage of structures such as south-facing walls or fences that reflect and
hold heat longer. Raised beds, made with wood structures or made simply by
mounding soil, heat up earlier in the spring and hold heat longer.
• Be sure that your site is protected from strong winds and that the soil has good
drainage.
• prepare soil by removing any rocks and weeds, and amend the soil as needed.
Clay soil can be improved by adding organic matter.

 CARING FOR NEW PLANTS

It is likely that your new garden will be planted at the warmest time of the year.
While warm soil is excellent for germination and root growth, water is also
required. Be sure to keep plants adequately moist until fall rains return regularly.

 SOME WINTER CROPS THAT CAN PLANT

Garlic - Set out nursery-purchased bulbs (separated but unpeeled) four inches
apart. Don't water them in.
Onions - This is where your well-amended soil is important. Onions love rich soil
- not too sandy or clayey. And they like regular water.
Radishes - Forget about those starchy red rocks called radishes at the grocery
store. Search online to discover a long list of gorgeous radish seeds including
French Breakfast, White Icicle, and Pink Beauties.
Potatoes - Like peas, a good time to plant potatoes is in February, with the
satisfying potato harvest around three months later.
