Planting through spring and into summer allows for a diverse and thriving garden. Here are some plants that you can sow or transplant during this period.




Tomatoes:


Tomatoes are warm-season vegetables that can be planted in late spring and early summer. They require full sun and well-drained soil. There are many varieties to choose from, including cherry tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, and heirloom varieties.




Peppers:


Similar to tomatoes, peppers thrive in warm weather. They come in various shapes, sizes, and heat levels, making them versatile additions to any garden. Plant them in late spring for a summer harvest.



Cucumbers:


Cucumbers are fast-growing vines that produce crisp, refreshing fruits. Plant them in late spring or early summer in a sunny spot with plenty of room to spread. Trellising can help save space and improve air circulation.




Beans:


Both bush and pole beans can be planted throughout the spring and summer months. They are easy to grow and produce abundant yields. Choose from green beans, snap beans, or pole beans, depending on your preference and available space.




Herbs:


Many herbs thrive in the warm weather of spring and summer. Basil, cilantro, dill, parsley, and mint are just a few examples. Plant them in containers or directly in the ground, ensuring they receive adequate sunlight and water.




By planting a combination of vegetables, herbs, and flowers that thrive in warm weather, you can enjoy a bountiful and beautiful garden throughout the spring and summer seasons.




Flowering Annuals:


Keep your garden colorful throughout the spring and summer with annual flowers such as marigolds, petunias, zinnias, cosmos, and sunflowers. These plants add beauty and attract pollinators to your garden.



Perennials:


While most perennials are typically planted in the spring or fall, some can be planted throughout the summer months. Choose varieties that are well-suited to your climate and soil conditions for best results.
