Warm season crops and planting tips for garden use
CIB nee ORRIN TURNQUIST EXTENSION MORTICULTURISTS UNIVERSITY FARM ST. PAVE 1. MINK WARM SEASON CROPS Warm season crops require warm soil and air temperatures for best development. Crops include beans sweet corn cucumbers melons squash and pumpkins. Do three or four plantings of snap beans and sweet corn for a longer harvest. Wade's bush bean is mosaic resistant and good for fresh use and freezing. Golden Rocket and Golden Freezer are top sweet corn varieties. Plant corn in three or four short rows for better pollination and full ears. Cucumbers melons and squash cross pollination unlikely. they can be planted close together.

Vine crops can be planted between rows of peas lettuce or other early crops and occupy space after early harvest.
