19.Maintain Fruit and Vegetable Harvests
Harvesting the fruits of your labor is by far the most enjoyable summer gardening task! As fruits and vegetables ripen, they attract various pests, including insects and even tiny furry pests like chipmunks and squirrels.
Harvesting ripe fruits and vegetables promptly not only ensures the best products for you and your family but also prevents flies and beetles from using your garden as an all-day buffet! Fallen fruit and vegetables also serve as a breeding ground for various pests and their eggs, so keep up with harvesting your delicious garden treats as much as possible!
