Vegetable Season is upon us...

Spring Veggie Season Is Here and Your Summer Favorites Are Right Behind!

As spring settles in across the Treasure Valley, we can’t help but feel that familiar buzz of gardening excitement. The first plantings of the year are already underway, with cool‑season favorites like lettuce, spinach, kale, peas, and radishes thriving in the crisp spring air. These early crops are the perfect way to kick off the growing season and get your garden beds warmed up for what’s next.

But the real summer fun is just around the corner.

Once the heat arrives, warm‑season veggies take center stage—cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, and green beans all burst to life when the temperatures climb. And the best part? Many of these heat‑loving vegetables are wonderfully beginner‑friendly, making them great choices for both seasoned gardeners and first‑time growers.

If you’re looking to expand your garden this year, here are a few more easy growers to consider:

• Summer squash – Fast, productive, and perfect for Idaho summers

• Cherry tomatoes – Reliable, sweet, and great for snacking

• Bush beans – Compact, productive, and low‑maintenance

• Eggplant – Loves heat and thrives in raised beds

• Sweet corn – A classic summer favorite that grows beautifully in full sun

• Herbs like basil and dill – Heat lovers that pair perfectly with summer harvests

• Carrots – Sweet, crunchy, and great for succession planting

• Beets – Colorful, nutritious, and tolerant of spring and early summer

• Patty pan squash – Fun, flavorful, and incredibly productive

Whether you’re planting your very first raised bed or refreshing a long‑loved garden, these vegetables will reward you with a generous, delicious harvest all season long.
