Each vegetable crop grows best in its own range of temperatures. The optimal temperature range for peppers and eggplants, for example, is 70Â° to 85Â°F; pollination will not occur if the night temperature falls below 55Â°F, and blossoms may fall if the temperature rises above 85Â°F.ach vegetable crop grows best in its own range of temperatures.

Slab Foundations. The two basic types of slab foundations are the monolith and the stem wall. Monolithic foundations are poured as a single form, with the outside edge, about the width of the wall, being 10 to 12 inches deep and the center of the slab typically 4 to 6 inches deep. A stem wall foundation is poured in multiple parts.
Anatomy. The footing is attached to the stem wall, which generally meets a vapor retarder at grade, then extends at least 18 inches above ground to be topped with a termite shield, sill plate, treated band joist and floor joists. The bottom of the footing below a stem wall is placed below the frost line.
