🌱 Basil’s June Garden Picks

June brings warm sunshine, longer days, and a garden that’s really starting to show off! This month, Basil has picked zucchini and peaches to celebrate two early-summer favorites fresh from the garden and orchard.

Zucchini loves warm weather and can grow surprisingly fast—sometimes it seems like those little squash double in size overnight! Peaches bring the sweetness of summer with their fuzzy skins, juicy centers, and unmistakable fragrance when they’re perfectly ripe.

Take a closer look at Basil’s garden guides below to learn how each one grows, when it’s harvested, and a few fun tidbits along the way.

Then we’ll take them from the garden to the kitchen! 🥒🍑

From the Plot to the Pot

Basil has picked June’s garden stars, and now it’s time to see what the gang can make with them!

Rosemary is turning tender zucchini into a hearty supper, while Pepper is frying up a crispy batch of zucchini fritters. Over at The Cozy Crumb, Hazel has fresh peaches bubbling beneath a golden cobbler crust, and Harvey is pouring a cold peach lemonade that tastes like summer in a glass.

Grab a fork—or a straw—and dig in!
