How to Grow
Plant seeds according to packet spacing and depth recommendations. Most varieties prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Squash, corn, and zucchini thrive in warm temperatures, while asparagus and Brussels sprouts benefit from thoughtful long-term planning. Water consistently during dry spells and support taller plants as needed. These crops are adaptable to raised beds, traditional gardens, and larger containers.

Harvest & Use
Pick zucchini and summer squash when tender and mid-sized for the best texture on the grill. Harvest Brussels sprouts when firm and bright green, ideally after a light frost for improved sweetness. Cut bunching onion tops as needed, and enjoy sweet corn once ears fill out. Asparagus can be harvested once beds are established, providing tasty spears for many years. Grill vegetables simply with oil and seasoning, or add them to salads, skewers, and side dishes for fresh summer flavor.
