When to plant notes 2011

Wanted to save a great little piece of info I found in my very favorite Martha Stewart Living Magazine about a month back. It's all about when to plant and the temp ranges certain veggies tolerate - very helpful info for a novice gardener like myself. And when the info comes from my idol, it is always reliable! All temps in Fahrenheit, temps in parenthesis are the range that can be tolerated.

Preferred Temp:70-85(65-90): eggplants, sweet potatoes, sweet & hot peppers, watermelons, okra, tomatoes

Preferred Temp:65-75(50-90): beans, black eyed peas, cucumbers, melons, sweet corn, squash

Preferred Temp:60-65 (40-75): artichokes, beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbages, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chard, collards, endives, fava beans, fennel, kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, parsnips, peas, potatoes, radishes, rutabagas, spinach, turnips

Preferred Temp:55-75(45-85): garlic, leeks, onions, shallots
