You’ll be amazed at what you can still plant and harvest this season. While some crops thrive in the early spring, others, like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and basil, are heat loving plants. In just a few short months..you’ll have a bountiful harvest. How great it’ll be to harvest a juicy tomato or plucking fresh herbs to add to any dish. Plant lettuce today, and you’ll be enjoying a salad in just 21 days.
Late-Blooming Beauties
There are still plenty of flowers that bloom later in the season. A few heat loving flowers that you can direct seed now are zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds. By starting flowers now, you’ll have the chance to enjoy blooms this summer. Sunflowers bloom in just 55 days, so plant some seeds today!
