Well now, you've put in the work and had a good time along the way. It's time to enjoy yourself. Reap the rewards.

For an organic gardener, harvest can be a long, stretched-out time. Depending on how and when you planted your crops, you could be harvesting different vegetables over several months. See specific seed packets or online resources for the best time to harvest individual vegetables and fruits.

Of course, if you planted flowers and other ornamental plants, you've been harvesting enjoyment from them all along and that in itself is worth it.
