Discover how the Summer Food Garden Planning Kit equips you with everything from top-performing crop varieties to zone-specific planting calendars that turn garden chaos into bountiful harvests.

When summer hits, your garden doesn’t just grow – it explodes. Those tomatoes, peppers, and herbs aren’t just surviving, they’re throwing a botanical block party. There’s nothing like grabbing a tomato so fresh it’s still warm from the sun, with juice that runs down your arm when you bite into it. (That’s nature’s way of saying “You’re welcome.”)

This is exactly why I put together the 2025 Summer Food Garden Planning Kit. Because summer gardening without a plan is like going grocery shopping when you’re hungry – chaotic, and you’ll end up with way more than you bargained for.

Inside the kit, I’ve packed all my garden secrets. You’ll get my list of ride-or-die summer crop varieties – the ones that haven’t let me down even during that summer when my garden basically turned into a sauna. Everything’s organized by USDA zone, so you’ll know exactly what to plant whether you’re gardening in Minnesota or Mississippi.

The succession planting timelines are game-changers. Instead of harvesting 47 cucumbers on one Tuesday in July and then nothing for weeks, you’ll have steady harvests that won’t leave you frantically googling “cucumber recipes” at 11pm.

Need to know how close to plant those peppers? Wondering which plants play nice together and which ones start garden drama? The kit breaks down spacing, soil needs, and companion planting combinations that actually work (learned the hard way so you don’t have to).

And because harvesting buckets of produce is only fun if you know what to do with it, there’s a whole chapter with 20 recipes that’ll make your taste buds high-five your gardening skills. We’re talking meals that actually showcase what makes home-grown food special.

With the right game plan, your summer garden can feed you better than any grocery store ever could. The 2025 Summer Food Garden Planning Kit gives you the blueprint – minus the sunburn and mystery bug bites that I figured out through years of trial and error.

Enjoy, and happy gardening!
