Spring (April-June): Cool, unpredictable weather is typical for spring in Lancaster

romaine, bibb and baby mix lettuce, radishes, rhubarb, scallions, peas, snow peas,

cucumbers, eggplant, Lima beans, onions, peppers of all sorts, potatoes, summer squash,

cauliflower, collard greens, fennel, kale, leeks, romaine, bibb and baby lettuce, parsnips,
