Vegetables & Herbs: Fresh from the Garden
Home-grown vegetables and herbs bring unbeatable flavor, freshness, and a sense of satisfaction to the garden. Whether you’re planting a full backyard plot or a few containers on a sunny patio, there are plenty of options that thrive in our southwestern Pennsylvania growing season.
Vegetables for Every Garden
From leafy greens and root crops to tomatoes, peppers, and vine crops, vegetables are easier to grow than many people expect. Cool-season crops do well in early spring and fall, while warm-season favorites shine in summer. With the right timing and care, you can enjoy fresh harvests throughout the growing season.
Herbs: Practical, Beautiful, and Easy to Grow
Herbs are a natural companion to vegetable gardens and containers alike. Many are low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and attractive to pollinators. Whether you’re growing herbs for cooking, tea, or simple enjoyment, they’re easy to tuck into garden beds, raised planters, or pots near the kitchen door.
