1 Most vegetables need warm weather to grow. 2  Some vegetables, like spinach, lettuce, carrots and turnips, can grow in cold weather. 3  Vegetable plants develop flowers and form seeds if you let them. 4  We usually eat them before they get the chance to make flowers.echnically, tomatoes, green beans, pumpkins, squash and cucumbers are fruit because they have seeds. They donât have a sweet taste like other fruit, but they are indeed fruit. Root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, beets and turnips grow under the ground.
Don't be surprised if the water along the shoreline of West Michigan is colder than last week. The strong north and northeast winds over the past few days have caused what is called upwelling.. Upwelling is when wind blows the surface water in one direction and colder water from below is pulled up to replace it.
Upwelling the transport of deeper water to shallow levels. One oceanic process altered during an El NiÃ±o year is upwelling, which is the rising of deeper colder water to shallower depths. The diagram below shows how upwelling occurs along the coast of Peru. Because of the frictional stresses that exist between ocean layers, surface water is transported at a 90 degree angle to the left of the winds in the southern hemisphere, 90 degrees to the right of the winds in the northern hemisphere.
