Here are 10 fruits and vegetables you can plant right now! Plus, you have an entire gardening and cooking library at your fingertips, with your [Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network]( Dear Gardener, Oh, June! Late spring and early summer are the dreamy days of gardening, when your early season veggies are in (or coming in soon) and you can start to put out all those seedlings you’ve started indoors. There are even a few favorites, like carrots, that you can sow directly in the ground this month. Now, before you go further, I should mention that this is, generally speaking, zones 3-7 we’re talking about. If you’re in higher zones, you’ll be a little ahead of this timeline. Still, June is a happy month for most gardeners. And we’re here to celebrate with you! Tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, corn…. Yum! The June issue of Food Gardening Magazine is tasty! And whether you want to read the magazine or watch the video, our Senior Editor Amanda MacArthur is sharing her favorite 10 Fruits and Vegetables to Plant in June. I’ll let her tell you about them, but I will say that #9 on the list is a little surprising (not to mention delicious). Amanda also visited a lemon grove and is inviting us into her kitchen to share a mouth-watering recipe: Candied Lemonade Cake Bread. How amazing does that sound?! She has a few tips and tricks she’s sharing in the video so you can make your own delicious, citrusy dessert at home! And if you’re still planning your garden, or thinking ahead to next season, be sure to catch the How-To video, How to Design the Best Garden Layout for Vegetables in Your Yard. There’s a lot more to designing a garden than you might think. (And yes, we know that from experience!) Don’t worry, though. It’s all broken down into easy peasy pieces. You can even skip some of the steps if you want. Just not step 3. You definitely do not want to skip step 3. Let’s move on to the June issue, though. Here’s what you can look forward to: - 10 Fruits and Vegetables to Plant in June: Discover eight vegetables and two fruits that are ready to go into the garden right now! - How to Design the Best Garden Layout for Vegetables in Your Yard: This video and article will walk you through all the steps of either designing your first garden or changing the layout of your current garden. Wait until you see what Amanda does with some river stones! - Candied Lemonade Cake Bread: I’ll be honest, this is one recipe you’re going to want to make. A lot. That Meyer lemon glaze… just wow! Speaking of Meyer lemons, did you know it’s one of the most popular indoor citrus trees? It’s actually a fairly easy tree to care for, and the rewards are so good. We’ll go over the basics in our feature article, Meyer Lemon Tree Care 101: Outdoors and In Containers. You can read through a short history of the Meyer lemon, find out where to plant one, how to fertilize and water your Meyer lemon tree, and the best part, how to harvest and store Meyer lemons! We’ll talk about Okra, too. Or more specifically, The Best Okra Companion Plants. If you only know okra as that “slimy” vegetable in some recipes, you’re truly missing out. You can fry it, pickle it, roast it, and enjoy it in southern staples like gumbo. Oh, and P.S. it’s actually a fruit. Okra also makes a wonderful companion plant and there are several vegetables that are great companions for okra, as well. Plus, the okra plant produces a gorgeous flower! We can’t thank you enough for being here. One of our greatest joys and hopes for gardening is that we can share our successes, our failures, and our learning experiences with other gardeners. Oh! And recipes. We love sharing those! We love publishing Food Gardening Magazine and hope that you enjoy reading (and watching) it. I’ll leave you with one last feature article that’s coming up in the June issue: - Can You Grow Wheat at Home?: Wheat is one of the oldest crops in history and is grown around the world. In fact, the worldwide wheat crop is bigger than all the other crops grown in the world, all together. For me, wheat conjures images of vast fields glowing in the evening sunshine or freshly baked bread, still steaming from the oven. I’m going to give away the gold here and tell you that yes, you can grow wheat at home. But don’t miss this feature article, where you can discover ten tips for growing this beloved agricultural crop in your own backyard. Ready to start planting?
