Your June 2023 issue is ready!

Join us in a celebration of fresh herbs! [Food Gardening Network Preview]( May 31, 2023  [The Herb-a-licious Issue]( Join us in a celebration of fresh herbs! [Magazine Cover] Gain full access to this premium magazine issue—and an entire Library of food gardening advice—with a [Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network!]( Dear Gardener, It’s officially here! June is the beginning of summer, and it’s also when many of those late spring and early summer herbs, fruits, and vegetables come in. Not only that, but the soil is warm enough that many of our summer vegetables can go into the ground, either as seeds or transplants. If that’s not worthy of a celebration, I don’t know what is! Oh! And, of course, June also means it’s time for a new edition of Food Gardening Magazine! For the month of June, we’re inviting you to join us in the joy of growing and cooking with garden-fresh herbs. Fresh herbs bring so much flavor and depth to a dish, and they’re so easy to grow! Plus, you don’t need a lot of space for an abundant herb garden, making them ideal for balconies, windowsills, and patios. Whether you’re looking for herbs that thrive in a hot climate or you’re wondering what to make with an abundance of parsley (Chimichurri sauce, anyone?), you’ll find it here. Herbs are only part of the story, though. Or should I say they’re only part of this issue? Tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, peppers, and melons are all “ripe” for planting this month. Speaking of which, don’t miss out on the printable Summer Garden Planning Calendar Kit this month! This printable kit is practical, beautiful, and it includes a list of tasks for each month of summer, from June through September. And potentially my favorite part: This calendar kit has all the important gardening holidays! National Cucumber Day? National Watermelon Day? You can bet I won’t forget to celebrate them!!! And, and, and!!!! Some of my favorite summer recipes are here, too. These recipes highlight summer crops like blackberries, bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, basil, and peaches. [Calendar] In all, you’ll find five featured articles, a mouth-watering recipe, a downloadable Summer Garden Planning Calendar Kit, and explorations of our three featured plants: Parsley, Chives, and Basil. And, as always, there are some additional delightful recipes in store from the gardening guides highlighted in this issue. Here’s a look at some of what’s happening in the June Issue of Food Gardening Magazine. [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership Special Offer—Just $10 for an Entire Year!

YES, SIGN ME UP NOW FOR JUST $10!]( There’s a lot there, but I really want to share more with you, which is why I’d like to offer you a [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership](. When I first started gardening, I made a lot of mistakes, and it didn’t come to me naturally. I had to go through dozens of books, piles of magazines, and about a million websites to figure out how to grow what I wanted. There was some luck, too. I have some friends who are experienced food gardeners, and I wasn’t shy about talking to the farmers I bought produce from at the markets and farm stands. That’s certainly one way to learn. I also realize that takes a lot of time and patience (and no small amount of Type A personality traits!). And honestly, there are times it would have been nice to have one source to discover a new vegetable (or rediscover some old favorites), and get all the information I needed to grow these vegetables in my garden. Well, now there is, thanks to the Food Gardening Network. If you’re reading this, you already know how much of a one-stop guide this is for your gardening and cooking needs. From starting seeds to irrigation to pest control to indoor herb gardens, this is the information I wish I had when I was learning to garden. This is all part of your free Bronze Membership, and I’m happy to continue sharing with you. If you’re ready for more, though, I’d love to share the benefits of a Gold Membership with you.
