Summer Vegetable Garden - Summer vegetables to grow - What I am planting in my summer garden this year

It is that time of year again! It is time to start planning our gardens!

The last frost is only a couple of weeks away and I couldn’t be more excited. For some reason this year I have been just dying for the spring weather. I started thinking about starting my seeds in January…. ya… not a good idea, but my point is that a garden has been on my mind for months!

This will be my third year planting a summer vegetable garden and I wanted to share what I am planting this year.

Before we get talking about all the vegetables if you haven’t started a garden yet, or are thinking about it make sure to check my post on
