This Gardening to Give lesson focuses on harvesting in the early season. Garden harvests tend to be more bountiful in late spring and early fall, but several plants may be ready in early summer. Onions, radishes, lettuce, peas, spinach, turnips, rhubarb, and strawberries may be ready now if not already harvested. Each plant will have different indicators to identify when it is ready to harvest.

Additional information about the program is available on the Gardening to Give webpage.
