May Meal Tip

It’s not too late to starting thinking about a summer garden! Not only will you save money at the grocery store by growing your own vegetables, but you’ll have steady access to nutritious produce all summer long. Vegetables such as cucumbers, beans and peas can be planted by seed in May, and now would be the time to either transplant tomato plants that you planted from seed, or buy the plant from the store and plant it directly into your garden.
