Veggies Galore!

If you are like me and got a late start planting veggies this year, don’t fret!  This is the time you will begin to reap the rewards and get to eat your own homegrown vegetables.  Cool season crops like peas and spinach should be winding down while those that love the heat should be taking off.

Green beans, early tomatoes, zucchini and some peppers should be ready for the picking.  Make sure you have thinned anything that grows underground: beets, carrots, parsnips etc.  Now is a great time to clean up and get any broken stalks or leaves, remove any plants that are not producing and get the weeds out.  Soon you should begin to see more tomatoes, cucumbers will emerge and peppers will get larger.

Make sure to give them lots of consistent moisture to keep growing!
