eat and humidity are not great gardening companions, but they are what we have to work in. Try to get your gardening chores done early in the day. Most fruits and vegetables taste better if harvested before the heat of the day has set in. Herbs are best harvested in the morning after any dew has dried but before the heat of the day sets in. Many of our summer vegetables are at peak harvest. Knowing what to look for can ensure that you get the most from your garden. Sweet corn is ripe when the silks begin to turn brown and dry. Take a peek on one or two of the ears by pulling back the shuck and pressing into a kernel or two. If it gives off a milky liquid, and the ear is fully formed, harvest. The quicker you can go from garden to table, the sweeter the corn will be. Cantaloupes and watermelons tend to be at their sweetest if it is a bit on the dry side during harvest. Too much rainfall tends to dilute the sugars. When cantaloupes are ripe the stems should easily separate from the vine, the fruits should develop a light tan webbing pattern and the blossom end should be slightly soft and smell like cantaloupe.
