Okay, so your garden is in full swing and I know you’re asking yourself “How do I know when my cantaloupe tastes like a cantaloupe and not a cucumber?” or “When should I pick my cucumbers so they are sweet?” or “How do you know when corn is ready to pick?”. Well I was asking myself some of those same questions so, Belinda from Home Gardens To Go is back showing us how to pick and know when vegetables are ripe to pick! I learned tons and was able to pick the juiciest cantaloups before the ants got them! This is the last time we’ll have Belinda with us so make sure and leave her a thank you for helping us all summer! Also, make sure you check the blog on Sept. 4th for your Back to School Survival guide. All month I’ll be posting every day easy breakfast and lunch ideas to help you survive!
