Because summer is almost here, I want to welcome the season with colorful, vibrant summer fruits! One of my favorite ways to enjoy the hot season is to grow Yellow Straightneck Squash.

They can grow multiple fruits in a bushel and each fruit can grow up to 8 inches. Therefore, once it’s harvested, there’ll be plenty of squash to go around! I can invite the whole family over and enjoy squash together.

Annually, I harvest them to roast or bread and deep fry. They have at nutty and buttery taste and are very refreshing. In my opinion, the best way to serve this squash is to deep fry it and have it with vanilla ice cream!

Beefsteak tomatoes are the king of all tomatoes. Did you know that they live up to their name “beefsteak” as these tomatoes can grow up to two pounds? They are “meaty”, meaning very juicy and hefty. You would not expect a small pip to grow into such a massive tomato.

In addition to their mighty size, Beefsteak tomatoes come in a variety of colors: red, orange, yellow, green, or even blue and purple! This is a rarity because blue and purple does not often naturally appear in the wild. The range of color is what makes mother nature charmful.

When I heard about beefsteak tomatoes, I knew that I had to have them in my garden. I can imagine cutting a fresh slice of the tomato and adding them to a sandwich or burger. I think they will enhance not only the dining experience but the cooking experience as well.

I always check if yellow plum grape tomato seeds are available because they keep selling out. I’m not surprised that they sell out; they’re sweeter versions of cherry tomatoes, and I love cherry tomatoes. The fresh, vibrant yellow color adds a colorful touch to the greenery in my garden.

I only wanted to pick a few to enjoy, but I helped myself to a large batch instead. This pile is the result of today’s harvest. The crisp crunch of the first bite is something I look forward to if I get the chance to buy these seeds!

Another way I like to enjoy them is to roast them. I slice them into halves or quarters then onto a skillet to be cooked. Roasted plum grape tomatoes go well with roasted cherry tomatoes. I can already envision the taste of roasted sweetness.
