I Need to Go Out and Start Picking Now!

What to Pick Right Now (Depending on Your Region):

• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Berries (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries)
• Peppers
• Herbs (basil, mint, dill, parsley)
• Lettuce and baby greens

If you don’t have a garden, check out local farms or pick-your-own orchards—many offer incredible produce this time of year, and the experience is half the fun.
