Summer Garden Moments: Tomatoes and Potatoes

In summer, gardening finds a peaceful rhythm. This week, it's all about helping tomatoes grow, digging up hidden potatoes, and keeping everything well-watered during the heat.

Tomatoes love to climb, but they need support. Use cages, stakes, or strings to gently tie them up so they don't fall over. This keeps them healthy and makes picking the fruit easier later on.

When potato leaves turn yellow and start to die, it's time to harvest. Dig them out with care—it feels like finding treasure. And the taste of fresh, warm potatoes from the garden is hard to beat.

Watering is key. Early in the morning or late in the evening is best, when it’s cooler. Water deeply so the roots grow strong and steady, especially for your tomatoes and potatoes.

Gardening isn't just work—it’s a way to slow down and enjoy the little things. Here’s to good harvests and muddy, happy hands.
