“Roots are cold weather crops for the most part. Radishes can be planted before the first thaw, so that in the spring, you have these lovely little roots with bushy tops. The same goes for carrots. Whereas parsnips are planted later because you want to harvest them after the first frost so that the sugars are concentrated.” [11:00]
