How’s Your

Garden Growing

Tell us what you’re growing and eating from your backyard – and send us your pictures.

Every summer along the Wasatch Front, something remarkable happens in backyards from Ogden to Provo. People grow things. Real food. Beautiful food. Food they're proud of. Mountain & Main wants to celebrate it — in print, online, and in the community.

This is your garden's moment.

SHARE YOUR STORY

What We’d Love to See

🍅 First Tomatoes

That moment when the vine finally delivers. Show us.

🌿 The Herb Garden

Basil, mint, rosemary — the unsung heroes of the summer kitchen.

🥕 The Harvest Pull

Carrots, beets, potatoes coming out of the ground. Nothing better.

🥒 The Zucchini Situation

You know what we mean. Embrace it.

🫑 Peppers at Peak Color

Red, yellow, orange — a pepper in full color is practically art.

🌻 Something Beautiful

Not every garden is about food. Flowers, raised beds, the whole scene — anything.

These are only suggestions — send us anything you're growing. Strawberries, cabbage, something from your favorite fruit tree. A single loaded plant. Your whole garden in full swing. A candid shot of you working the rows.

We want to see it all, and we want to share it.
