As temperatures continue to warm up, it’s time to plant the three most popular fruits that can be enjoyed well into late summer .

Tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers are the favourites for summer menus.

Public demand, however, is the No. 1 reason to grow a particular variety, says Brian Minter .

Ancho/poblanos and serranos rank in the range of 1 and 2 in Scoville heat units.

Cucumbers are some of the easiest vegetables to grow, and are among the most productive.

Seedless or burpless varieties are becoming today ’s favourites because they are sweet, easy to digest and bitter free.
