  • Broccoli

    I always wondered why my parents never grew broccoli in their garden as we seemed to have it on our dinner plates at least a couple of times a month. I was considering planting some this year but time and space did not allow. After doing some research over the winter months I learned a few facts and...

  • Seeds & Small Fruits

    What a difference a year can make when it comes to small fruits and seed purchases. I have been walking local garden centers and watching what people are buying this year. Seeds, seeds and more seeds. Not so long ago I read that the vegetable and flower seed business was dropping at unprecedented rates...

  • Please Don't Overwater!

    The spring planting season has arrived for some of us and is very close for other patient gardeners. With each passing day more trees, perennials, annuals, bulbs and vegetables are being carefully planted. With so many new plants finding homes, it is exciting to ponder all the greenery that is being...

  • Sweet Corn

    Seed buying is certainly underway for the spring season. We can tell because some great questions surfaced a couple of times last week. How much sweet corn should I plant to feed my family and what germination rate should I expect when planting sweet corn? We always suggest planting 3 - 4 seeds per plant...

  • Hoeing & Exercising In Your Garden

    When I pick up a hoe and head to the garden I want to make an impact. I want to get rid of those pesky weeds and make the garden presentable. Before I go and whack away at the soil, I have to remind myself the fundamental hoeing techniques. There are two simple keys to hoeing. The first is to start early...

  • Too Wet To Till?

    When spring fever hits, the first thing us gardeners want to do is get out and till the garden. There is a right time to till and a not so right time to till your soil. If you enter your garden and the soil is still wet, back up and wait for another day. Wet soil compacts very easily and that compaction...

  • First Ripe Tomato Of The Season!

    We have a friend that challenges anyone that wants to grow tomatoes to beat him getting the first red ripe tomato out of his garden each summer. I took that challenge one year and I must say I did win. Since there were no ground rules set I went to a local garden center and purchased a few different...

  • Why Are My Cucumbers Bitter Tasting?

    Cucumbers are available in many different varieties but I'm pretty positive that there isn't a bitter variety for sale. But it is a great topic and can best be explained by the variance of heat and moisture levels available when the plant is fruiting. While there is no remedy available to counter...

  • Tomatillos

    I admit it! I watch the Food Network during my relaxing hours each evening. I love to cook and grill especially items that I have produced or purchased from the local vegetable stands that pop up on our street corners each summer. It isn't only the recipes I watch for but ideas of how us gardeners...
