Think these plants are just for food? Try adding fruits and vegetables to your existing gardens. It will save labor and looks great! Okra is just a hibiscus, chili peppers add lots of colors to the garden, thyme makes one of the best ground covers, blueberries have amazing fall color, parsley is great for adding texture to mixed pots, and I'm not even going to mention swiss chard! The list goes on!

These tomatoes will be ready for planting by the first of April. Assuming the weather holds out! Pro tip, ignore any one that mentions "last frost date". Frost means something different to tropical vines, which is what tomatoes are. Never plant a tomato until night time lows are in the 50's.

Much of the produce in grocery stores has been sitting in the store's back room, on trucks, or in wholesale warehouses for weeks to months! Grocery Store tomatoes (even so called vine ripened) are picked green so they are firm, packed well, and then dosed with ethylene gas to mimic ripe fruit flavors. The only way to know what a tomato (or cucumber, potato, strawberry, or watermelon) really tastes like, is to grow it!

Gardening is an easy way to get anybody outside! Having children help plant edible plants can help improve self confidence, it's great exercise, and children are more likely to eat something they grew themselves! It also helps solidify math and science skills being taught in school.
