Veggie Recommendations for Summer Time Gardens

Hey Guys,
I hope you're all doing well.

This is the second part of the mini series that I've been working on with my veggie recommendations for different times of the year.

This time around we're looking at summer time gardens.

Summer's warm temperatures and ample sunlight create an ideal environment for various vegetables to flourish.

Let's take a look at some of my veggie recommendations for a summer time garden:
1: Tomatoes: Tomatoes come in so many different varieties, each offering a unique flavour profile. Summer really is tomato season.
2: Zucchini: Zucchini plants are prolific producers, offering a steady supply of tender, green squashes perfect for grilling, sautéing or baking.
3: Cucumbers: Cucumbers are another summertime favourite as they thrive in the heat of summer.
4: Bell Peppers: Bell peppers come in a rainbow of colours and add sweetness and crunch to your summer salads, bell peppers love the warmth of summer.
5: Cantaloupes: These sweet, juicy melons are a summer favourite. They're perfect for breakfast or a refreshing snack.
6: Corn: Fresh corn is a summer treat. Harvest corn when the kernels are plump and juicy.
7: Green Beans: Green beans are a staple of the summer garden. They're tender, crisp and ideal for side dishes.
8: Okra: Okra thrives in the heat and adds a unique texture to your summertime favourites.
9: Eggplant: Eggplants come in various shapes and sizes and are perfect for grilling, roasting or turning into hearty dishes.
10: Summer Squash: Beyond Zucchini, varieties like yellow squash and pattypan squash thrive in the summer garden. They're versatile and delicious.

One of the most important things to consider when planting your garden is to prioritise the veggies that you and your family will actually enjoy growing and eating. The above examples are merely a guide. Your garden is your choice, do what feels right for you.

Next up is Fall..
