Buying produce at the grocery store can be quite disappointing sometimes. From having bruised skin to being chemically treated, these mass produced vegetables have caused some homeowners to take to their own landscape and plant their own produce. For a cool season garden, you really should begin your planting in July and early August. If you live in the greater Kansas City area, and want to know what cool season vegetables are good for your own vegetable garden, here are a few examples:
