Growing Root Vegetables

Root Vegetables are an excellent choice for gardeners in hardiness zones 3-5, where the cold winters and shorter growing seasons can make cultivating certain crops challenging. Fortunately, many root vegetables are well-suited to cooler climates and thrive in these conditions. From carrots to potatoes, beets, and radishes, these hearty plants provide essential nutrients and are incredibly rewarding to grow, even in the more extreme climates of zones 3-5.
