It's not too late to grow vegetables this year. We chat with Carol Michel and Dee Nash about starting a summer vegetable garden.

Michel and Nash are vegetable gardeners Indiana and Oklahoma who joined forces to produce The Gardenangelists podcast and share their love of gardening.

“I’m in zone 7, and she’s zone 5.” Michel and Nash talk about how they got into vegetable gardening, and then share their tips for starting a vegetable garden in the summer. It’s not too late!

“It is not too late. There are plenty of vegetables that you can sow seeds for right now.”
