Sadly, spring is coming to an end soon, which means that everyone has already finished their planting. People are happily chilling in their gardens, while certain gardeners, on the other hand, are panicking because they haven’t started anything yet!
No time to stress! There are crops that will amaze you with their easy cultivation and excellent taste. So, get ready to highlight the end of spring by planting these five amazing plants!
#1 Make A Juicy Fruit Salad With Melons
There is nothing better than a freshly picked melon from the garden! It makes the perfect dessert on hot summer days. Believe it or not, even their peel is edible, so feel free to try it!
I’m a big fan of melons and plant them every year. They thrive with plenty of sun, so make sure they get as much sunlight as possible. With enough light, they will grow like crazy! Hurry up and plant them in your yard so you can enjoy delicious melons all summer long.
#2 Basil Will Become Your Favorite Herb In The Kitchen
If you run out of spices, there’s no need to worry, thanks to the king of herbs – basil! You can sprinkle it on your homemade pizza, so bring Italian vibes into your kitchen and make one!
Basil is very easy to maintain. If you are a beginner, it is the ideal choice for you. You can even grow it indoors! I place it by the window because it needs a lot of light. That way, the spice will only be a few feet away from you!
#3 Boost Your Health With Sweet Potatoes
This sweet veggie will become a favorite in your kitchen. You can prepare them in different ways! Bake them, boil them, or even make a sweet potato pie!
It would be ideal if sweet potatoes had full sun support during their growth, but it’s not necessary. They can be planted in partly shaded areas, too. As long as they receive at least three hours of sunlight, you can grow them anywhere!
If you want to live that healthy lifestyle, then sweet potatoes are an excellent choice for you. They are rich in vitamins A and C, making them excellent for your heart and liver!
#4 Furry Friends Will Enjoy Your Green Beans
This delicious vegetable is great for dogs’ health and helps them balance their diet. Your furry companions will enjoy the crunchy, semi-sweet taste, so plant them to let your little friends enjoy their favorite treat.
Green beans need a minimum of six hours of sunlight to receive the necessary photosynthesis for rapid growth!
Besides your pets, beans are also very important for your health. If you have problems with blood pressure, just like me, this veggie will help you regulate it!
You can prepare it as a side dish with meat and add garlic. Trust me, the taste will amaze you every time you prepare this fantastic recipe.
#5 Chili Fans, Meet Your New Besties – Peppers
Welcome to the world of amazingly tasty veggies! Bell peppers are sweet, while green, cayenne, and red hot peppers bring the spice. They can satisfy all your cravings, from sweet to spicy flavors.
Plant them in the sunny part of your garden, because peppers need six hours of sunlight to produce lots of delicious fruits!
I enjoy using hot spices in my meals a lot, but ever since I planted these peppers, I don’t need to buy seasonings because I have them in my garden! The best option would be to dry or even pickle them!
Peppers are very healthy vegetables, especially if you’re trying to lose weight, as they can boost your metabolism. So, feel free to give them a try! Don’t hesitate with spicy ones, they are great for your health too. Hot peppers are rich in vitamins C and A.
See, you still have time to plant your crops! You’ll be able to enjoy their fantastic taste throughout the entire season.
I even froze basil and green beans and used them in my favorite recipes all winter!
I don’t want to keep you any longer, folks!
Let the planting begin!
