Plan, Then Plant Vegetables
Now that soil and air temperatures are rising, vegetable gardening should be on the increase. Where space is limited, select favorite crops and quantities. For many, tomatoes top the list. If eggplant and peppers are among favorites, put out two or three plants of each. They require little space and will bear until frost. Sweet corn is also well liked. If space allows, consider pole or bush snap beans, okra, summer and winter squash, Southern peas, cucumbers, and even cantaloupes and watermelons.
