Children sort them into those you can eat and those you can't eat. Any of the former should be planted in the cool of the spring months. So, out into the garden go the broccoli, the herbs, the carrots, peas, onions and potatoes, starts of leeks and cole crops. Warm-season veggies are tender to frosts. Into this group fall the tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, melons, squash, pumpkins and peppers.
Gardening is a patience-building hobby.
Summer is the time when a gardener's watering abilities are put to the test. Soil types vary tremendously, affecting how well the soil willingly absorbs water. Obviously, there is no one quick lesson on watering to solve all these questions. Drip systems are the answer. Plants love heat.
