This is a very exciting part of the season for me. This is the time where we transition from the green, leafy, light-flavored spring veggies to the robust, bright colored, diverse summer veggies!

This is the part where summer squash starts leaping from the center of the bush, potatoes bubble up from inside from their soft hills, snap beans appear from nowhere every day, tomatoes start to show their blush and the corn tassels come out to shimmer in the warm summer breeze.

In the coming weeks expect to see LOTS of all those veggies and a variety of sweet & hot peppers, tomatillo by the basketful, succulent summer melons, tart but juicy plums and a few surprises as well – ie. stuff I haven’t planted before and hope will grow!
