World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day

This day was created in 2019 by Bob Matthews of Rochester, NY Bob is owner and author of The Gardener's Network, Garden Hobbies, and Pumpkin Nook. Bob is also an avid, life time gardener. World Plant a Vegetable Garden Day was created to help feed a hungry planet, and encourage people to join in the fun hobby of gardening. While this day is intended to create a vegetable garden, Matthews says you can use this day to plant a flower or herb garden, if you prefer. Better still, why not grow all three….. vegetables, flowers, and herbs!?

The date of May 19th was chosen, as the last frost date has past for almost everyone in the northern hemisphere, where the vast majority of humans live. Start a few plants indoors today, for transplanting outdoors later.
