Fall Crop

I just pulled out my pea plants and I'm trying to decide what to plant in their place. Does anyone have any good ideas for some crops that do well in the New England falls?

some later/fall crops that work well for me are the big radishes - daikon or watermelon/sweet meat or green luobo. some cauliflower are really good for fall but not any other time, too. depends on the variety.

Take a look at your usual first frost date for your area. You need to plant something that will mature by that date. More peas, green beans, or cucumber would work.
