Look for the tiny roots on radishes, the first flowers on cucumbers and squash, and that first tomato. If there has been no rain for a week, water plants by slowly pouring around the base of each plant, enough to soak in where roots are. Try to keep leaves dry. Also keep an eye out for insects, picking them off as you see them. Gardening is a great activity for the entire family, so get the kids involved in planning and tending the vegetable garden.
Gardening provides fresh air, sunshine, exercise, and a great deal of satisfaction.
