Root vegetables are best planted during the late summer, and come to maturity during the cooler fall months.  This is the perfect time to plant radishes, turnips, beets and carrots.  Bunching onions such as scallions and garlic chives are also wonderful additions to your garden, and will be perfect for winter soups and stews!
