One of my favorite summer treats is to pick a tomato fresh from the vine, slice it thin, drizzle with a little olive oil, and scoop onto a crunchy baguette. Oh, and throw a handful of basil leaves in top! Mmmm. :-)If you haven't started a garden, it's not too late. And don't say you don't have any room for a garden because I bet you do---we grow all of our goodies on a relatively small roof terrace, which means all our plants are grown in pots---even an apple tree!
Not sure where to start? Well, my first suggestion is to grow veg and herbs that you really love to eat. No sense in growing beets if you despise them. Also, Whole Living recommends six easy-to-grow summer season vegetables to kick off your garden.

Now go get yourself some gardening gloves and throw some seeds in the soil! :-)
