I live in middle Tennessee. I have always just grown radishes in the Spring mixed in with carrots to help keep our hard clay soil broken up for the carrots as we are not huge fans of radishes. Of course the radishes grow like crazy but our carrots were kind of bitter. Maybe was the type of carrot. By mid June it is too hot for spring veggies but bush beans and Southern peas like purple hulls do very well and grew quickly. Okra grew fast for me and stands our hot summers very well!
