Extension sowing lists for August are short and specific: beets, kale, lettuce, mustard, radish, spinach, turnip and Chinese cabbage all finish fast enough to beat a first freeze in most of the country.

What separates a fall crop from a failed one is usually germination in soil that is still summer-hot, and having a row cover on hand before the first cold night rather than after it. Seed, germination trays and plant covers are collected here for that reason.

Before you order, check the days-to-maturity figure on the packet against your own first-frost date and add about two weeks — day length shortens as you go, and fall crops mature slower than the packet suggests.
