What You Should Be Planting Right Now!
If you're anything like us, the gardening grind doesn't stop in the summer. We like to garden throughout all of the seasons with the help from our friends at Le Fleur Farms. There, you can find everything from seeds, to bulbs, to potted plants so there is a starting point for everyone no matter your level of gardening expertise! Fall is right around the corner, and right now is a prime time to plant some seasonal florals and produce. Today we are sharing the best plants that you should be incorporating into your garden right now!
Kale
Kale and other leafy greens like spinach and butter lettuce are great plants to add to your garden right now. Use them for salads, sandwiches, and tons of other healthy recipes!
Leeks
We love leeks in the fall time. They are a great addition to some of our favorite hearty soup recipes. Other veggies in the onion family like green onions and shallots are ideal to plant right now as well.
Cauliflower
Believe it or not, foods go through trends just like fashion. Remember when "cronuts" were all the rage? Well, right now cauliflower is having a serious moment. Replace it with traditional pizza crust, rice, and even mashed potatoes!
Carrots
Carrots are a garden staple. Use them in salads or as a tasty snack in the kids lunches. Carrots need to be planted ASAP! They should be in the ground at least three weeks before the first frost.
