Now that you've planted those vegetables - when should you harvest them?



It is so hard to believe that it has only been a month since we've put our YUMMY vegetables in the ground! We are only weeks away from having nutritious, flavor-packed homegrown vegetables on our dinner table!

What have you planted?  It's a great time to get your warm weather crops in the ground.  Many plants do very well with seed being placed directly in the ground.  Such as:  bush beans, pole beans, cantaloupes, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, peppers, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, Southern peas, summer squash, and watermelon.  Tomatoes should be started inside. Probably a good idea to start eggplant and pepper plants in starter pots as well, but they can be sown directly in the ground.
