About 90% of the root mass is in the upper 20–30 cm (8–12 in) of soil; some lateral roots can penetrate up to 2 m (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) deep. [6] The inflorescence is an unbranched and indeterminate terminal raceme measuring 50–100 cm (20–40 in) tall, [6] with flowers that are yellow or white.
The first map was issued in 1960, and revised in 1965. It used uniform 10 °F (5.6 °C) ranges, and gradually became widespread among American gardeners. [3] [4] The USDA map was revised and reissued in 1990 with freshly available climate data, this time with five-degree distinctions dividing each zone into new "a" and "b" subdivisions.
Root, tuber and bulb crops — like carrots, beets, radishes, potatoes and onions — need more water once crops have “set” in the soil, but they still need to grow a thickness to them.
The northernmost part of the desert lies 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level, and due to high summer temperatures, not all of the fallen precipitation is fully absorbed into the soil, resulting in a high sodium concentration. [7] In other areas, mountain erosion has caused deep soils of fine particles, which allows for standing lakes.

Brassicaceae (/ ˌ b r æ s ɪ ˈ k eɪ s iː ˌ iː,-s i ˌ aɪ /) or (the older) Cruciferae (/ k r uː ˈ s ɪ f ər i /) [2] is a medium-sized and economically important family of flowering plants commonly known as the mustards, the crucifers, or the cabbage family. Most are herbaceous plants, while some are shrubs.
She explains why cabbage causes so much gas and what you can do about it. With her advice, you can keep enjoying red and green cabbage, napa, Savoy or any other delicious variety you like.
Red cabbage prefers climates that remain moist and cool for most of its vegetative growth stage, so it can be placed in the ground shortly after the last frost while the spring is still cool. The cabbage plants can be spaced about 30–65 cm (12–26 in) from one another. They will need watering often but are otherwise low-maintenance plants. [8]
