Plant what you eat
What recipe defines Summer for you? Is it a fresh Stars and Moon watermelon and feta salad? Crusty BLT with juicy Brandywine tomato slices or grilled sweet corn straight off the stalk?
Plant your garden like you would shop at your grocery store or farmers market. If you love making juices and can’t live without your kale, then there’s a great variety of cut and come again kale for you. Or, if your tastebuds yearn for a sweet and spicy salsa, plant some Yellow Aji chiles and Strawberry Heart tomatoes that will blow your mind. If your idea of a refreshing summer drink is a mojito, don’t forget to plant a pot full of mint..
To keep it simple, grab your favorite recipe or meal plan, and make a note which fresh produce shows up.
