The exception is one study in the Netherlandsâthe Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancerâin which women (but not men) who had a high intake of cruciferous vegetables had a reduced risk of colon (but not rectal) cancer (12).
Crops: beans, celery, corn, cucumbers, New Zealand spinach, and summer squash. Temperatures: Tender vegetables grow with daytime temperatures above 55Â°F, and are intolerant of frost. When to plant: 1  Based on soil temperature, refer to Table 2.2  Soil is adequately dry to work.3  These crops may be planted (from seed) around the date of the average last spring frost.emperatures: Very tender vegetables are not only intolerant of frost, but also cool spring winds. They need daytime temperatures above 60Â°F, and prefer temperatures of 70Â°F to 95Â°F. A week of daytime temperatures below 55Â°F may stunt the crop.
OVEN TEMPERATURE for ROASTING We roast vegetables at high temperature, 375 degrees on the low end and 500 degrees on the high end but typically 400F or 425F.
