PLANTS BEGINNING TO BOLT? 
🍃🥬🍉🍓🍆🧅🍊🍇🥒🍅🍑
Different plants respond differently to heat. Veggies such as lettuce, radishes, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, and other leafy greens or members of the brassica family generally prefer cooler soil temperatures (in the 50 and 60s). These may temporarily begin to bolt in temperatures over 75°F. No, we don’t mean run away! When a plant bolts, it prematurely forms a flower spike and then goes to seed. When temperatures hit over 90°F, these guys will likely fry and die.  Learn more: homesteadandchill.com/prevent-plants-bolting/
