What are some good choices for spring crops? So far I've started seeds of sugar snap peas,bush beans & lettuce. What else does well in cool weather?

Onions and potatoes need to go in soon. Spinach does better in cooler weather too.

BUSH BEANS?? EEEK! Not yet! You need to wait until after the last frost!
All of your leafy vegies; lettuce, cabbage, spinach, collards (I know - "what's a collard?"), Kale, mustard, then your peas, beets, radishes, carrots, and broccoli. Parseley and chives can be started as soon as you can work the soil.

Spinach, onions and parsnips grow best planted in the very early spring. Lettuce, radishes, carrots , peas and beets follow next. Corn will do allright planted before last spring frost if the soil is warm enough. Squash, pumpkins peppers and tomatoes freeze at temperatures that are barely at frost levels. Here in Idaho the farmers plant potatoes in mid-May and hope they have not emerged before Memorial day frosts.

I'm growing something called Kohlrabi for the first time this year. I planted it in early spring with the spinach. Supposedly it likes cool weather as well, and can accept partial shade.
