Tomatoes

Tomatoes are hardy plants. For best results, start with a sprout from a nursery and make sure it has a stake to support its weighty stems.
Zucchini
Zucchini is so hardy it’s a bit of a gardeners joke. For example, a farmer agreed to sell his peaches at a discount, only if the buyer took some zucchinis too.
Over the course of a single growing season, one zucchini plant can grow 10 pounds of zucchini! Zucchini is great to make zoodles, zucchini bread, muffins and more.
You’ll find plenty of recipes from gardeners trying to make the most of their zucchini plants.
To get started, start your seeds in pots 4 to six weeks before the second week of spring. When you’re safe from frost, plant them outdoors with lots of sun and room to grow.
You can talk to a landscape company to learn more about your garden’s sun, soil, and natural drainage.
