Tomatoes
Best planted in late spring (May to June) to early summer (June to July), after the last frost date. They need warm soil and sunny conditions to grow. Harvest when the tomatoes are fully ripe and have reached their desired size, usually in late summer (August to September) or early fall.
Onions
Onions are a versatile and widely used vegetable that can be grown in various regions. They are typically planted in early spring (March to April) or late summer (August to September) and prefer well-drained soil and full sun. Onions form bulbs underground, and their green tops, known as scallions or green onions, can be harvested at any stage of growth. For mature onions, they are ready to be harvested when the tops start to yellow and fall over. This usually occurs in late summer (August to September) or early fall. Once harvested, onions should be cured by drying them in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area to promote storage and improve their flavor. Onions are a staple ingredient in numerous cuisines and add flavor and depth to a wide range of dishes, making them an essential vegetable for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs.
