A cool season crop is mostly grown for its vegetative parts: the roots (carrots), leaves (cabbage), stems (celery), and immature flowers (broccoli). The food value of cool season crops is generally higher than that of warm season crops per pound. Their natural planting and harvesting period is in the cool time of the year. However, the crops can be grown almost all the year in temperate zones, such as coastal areas. Further inland as the weather gets warmer beyond their season, they like a little shade until they are ready to harvest.
