Excellent: Basil, celery, dill, fennel, kale, leaf lettuce,
marjoram, mustard greens, oregano, parsley, spinach, Swiss
chard, turnip.
-
Good: Cabbage, collards, garlic, green onions, leek. Cherry
tomatoes and cucumbers (European type) are considered good,
but require warm temperatures.
-
Fair: Broccoli, edible pod peas. Eggplant, large tomatoes,
and peppers are considered fair, but require warm
temperatures.

squash are considered poor because they are naturally
pollinated by bees. If hand pollinated, they can be listed
as fair.
