The main growing season is where your garden reaches its full potential—but only with the right plan in place. This class covers what to plant for peak summer production, including warm-season crops like tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, and more. You’ll learn how to time plantings for continuous harvests, manage plant spacing for maximum yield, and support heavy-producing crops. We’ll also discuss pest and disease prevention strategies during the hottest months and how to keep plants productive longer. By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap for managing a thriving summer garden.
