💡 Tips for November
- 🌱 It's brassica month: transplant broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage while the weather is cool.
- 🌱 Direct-sow carrots, radishes and beets: they germinate better with cool nights.
- 🌱 In Florida, keep row covers or frost blankets handy in case a cold night arrives suddenly.
- 🌱 Water less: cool nights help the soil hold moisture longer.
- 🌱 Watch for caterpillars on broccoli and cabbage: they stay active in November and can be controlled with netting or organic Bt.
