I start broccoli, collards, and cauliflower the middle of July for September transplants. I put the plant bed in the coolest shadiest spot I can find, usually in the woods next to a retaining pound, Have to water the bed daily but so far it works as the July August , early Septemebr heat is a killer. In a particular hot spell I will "bush" the transplants ( cut twigs off trees and stick the in the ground next to the plants). I use early maturing cultivars for both spring and fall planting.
