Aries (March 21 – April 19)
What the Tarot cards say: Time for Rest
The year 2024 will be a time when you won’t feel like dealing with beds, weeds, and pests. Therefore, this is the perfect moment to allocate space for zucchini! Yes, these meme and joke heroes since mid-summer are delicious, healthy, and easy to grow. There are many recipes, methods of preservation, and storage until spring. If you don’t want to plant the classics, try pattypan squash, which can be pickled for the festive table. And if you fear an abundant harvest, zucchini flowers stuffed with cream cheese in batter are an excellent way to quickly and deliciously use the yield.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
What the Tarot cards say: The Ability to See New Options
In the coming year, you will have the opportunity to discover new varieties of familiar vegetables. Tired of “classic” eggplants? Then meet the white, pink, and even red eggplants! New hybrids are devoid of bitterness and easier to care for. Surprise your family with white “blue ones,” serving them in a Thai soup. Small round fruits can be easily cut into 2-4 pieces and added at the end of cooking. And most importantly — they don’t need to be soaked in salt!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
What the Tarot cards say: Look from a Different Angle
When you have tried everything and want something unusual, plant a few corn seedlings in your garden. Today, there are many varieties of classic and unusual shades, frost-resistant and easy to bear fruit. This is not only impressive but will also add intrigue to your garden if you use the sturdy corn stalks as support for delicate flowering plants. Of course, growing corn requires patience, as the harvest may only appear in September. But harvesting is a separate adventure that will please both children and adults, and boiling corn will take you back to childhood, filling your home with warmth and coziness.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
What the Tarot cards say: Fill Yourself with Harmony
In 2024, Cancers should pay special attention to cucumbers in their garden. Choose new and unusual varieties and hybrids: gherkins or smooth cucumbers, large and prickly. Any ideas and recipes will ensure a great mood. Of course, cucumbers will require a bit of time, patience, and care, but they will reward you with a rich harvest and good spirits. For an experiment, plant the same varieties in a greenhouse, on a balcony, and in open ground to compare the difference in taste and texture. Have you tried cucumber jam?
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
What the Tarot cards say: Harvesting
For Leos in 2024, it is recommended to plant vegetables that will bear fruit throughout the summer and even into autumn. And, of course, their table and garden will be adorned with salad! Choose any! Lettuce will yield excellent heads just 50 days after planting, while watercress can be grown in just a couple of days, even in winter on a windowsill. Romaine, Butterhead, Iceberg — the options are overwhelming, and the tastes vary. Fresh and delicious green (and not only) leaves, spicy and sweet, juicy and crunchy, and most importantly, the harvest can be gathered multiple times during the season, allowing you to enjoy vitamins for a long time.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
What the Tarot cards say: Triumph and Victory
In 2024, Virgo gardeners will want to showcase their talents to neighbors and friends, and the artichoke will help them with that. Yes, this exotic vegetable from the Mediterranean is known for its mysterious recipes in French and Italian cuisines. Growing it is challenging; it requires not only time and care but also favorable weather. However, this does not scare Virgos! The vegetative period of the plant is about 130 days, and Virgos are not short on patience. You will definitely surprise your family and acquaintances by serving artichokes from your garden.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
What the Tarot cards say: Simplicity in Everything
In 2024, Libras should not “sweat the small stuff,” but what they really should do is grow turnips! This expression will become your motto for the year, and this root vegetable will beautify your beds. The use of turnips in cooking is undeservedly forgotten, yet it is tasty and healthy. Growing turnips is easy and quick (40-60 days from planting), requiring no special care. And don’t forget that not only the root is edible, but also the greens! Add it to soups for a hint of sharpness and enjoy the tender boiled greens.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
What the Tarot cards say: Life is in Motion
The coming year will be bright and eventful for Scorpios, with many activities and events. Therefore, in the garden, you should plant something that will motivate you to act. Meet pepino! You can’t plant it in open ground, but in a greenhouse, this exotic vegetable will bear fruit all summer. In winter, you will have to bring the plant indoors. Despite its capriciousness (lighting, temperature, watering), the fruits are so delicious and juicy that they will generously reward their gardener. The main thing is to ensure that the melon pear does not overripe, or it will lose its flavor.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
What the Tarot cards say: Enjoy Love
The year 2024 will be a year of discoveries, and Sagittarians need to fall in love with something new. The best option for planting will be lovage. This vegetable, popular at different times, is now somewhat overshadowed by trendy spices, which is completely undeserved, as lovage has a unique flavor, is suitable for consumption in any form, and is excellent for preservation. Moreover, it repels pests and attracts pollinators. A universal friend in your garden — it’s impossible not to fall in love!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
What the Tarot cards say: My Household is My Wealth
For Capricorns, 2024 will be a time to increase their wealth, as accumulation and storage are the main goals of Capricorn. And, of course, tomatoes will suit them. A unique vegetable (although it is essentially a berry) that can be consumed in any form: green, fresh, boiled, fried, stewed, dried, or canned. There is probably no more universal friend in our gardens than the tomato. If classic varieties no longer delight you, pay attention to new wonders of selection — black, speckled, unusual shapes, giant weights, amethyst, and even green when fully ripe. Tomato preserves keep well until next summer, delighting both the hostess and the household.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
What the Tarot cards say: Nostalgia for Childhood
In 2024, Aquarians will want to return to childhood when there wasn’t such an abundance of exoticism and variety of varieties in gardens. Try to grow something that reminds you of carefree summer vacations. There is probably no better plant than peas. Tasty, fresh, young, sweet — words are not enough to describe all the merits of young pods that are so joyfully eaten straight from the bush. Peas are also very healthy and versatile in the kitchen, becoming a great friend both raw and in dried or frozen form in winter.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
What the Tarot cards say: Work for the Common Good
Caring for household members (and for yourself) will become the main goal for Pisces in 2024. What to plant to avoid hassle and please everyone? Maybe onions?! But which one — the choice is huge. Classic bulb onions (and their green tops), sweet red or white? Let’s not forget about leeks and shallots. Onion is one of the most versatile vegetables in our lives. From hearty to sweet, it is used everywhere. For snacks, try onion rings or onion confit with meat, adding sharpness to your sensations. And for the beauty of the beds, you can also plant decorative onions.
