Folks have been growing in cold frames for centuries, and whether you live in a region where winters are consistently cold and chilly, or a mix of mild temps, building cold frames into your gardens are a wonderful way to extend your season.
Growing your own pumpkins is fun and easy -- if you have enough space in your garden -- and the uses are endless: the roasted seeds are a delicacy, the flavorful meat is good baked by itself or in soups and pies, and it's even possible to make melon-flavored wine from pumpkin!
As the gardening season comes to a close, nature calls us to put away as much as possible to eat over the cold winter. Pickles, tomato sauce, jams, and dried herbs for tea, medicine, and flavoring our foods are all easy and satisfying to accomplish. Here are a handful of useful tips you can use to keep your plants healthy, and get the best quality herbs to last you through the year.
It seems with beets, folks either love them, or they- don’t love them. I’m of the opinion though that if you think you just don’t like them, then you just haven’t had them in the right preparation. Try fresh raw beets grated on your next salad. Slow roast some with garlic, thyme, and orange zest. (yum!) And don’t forget about those greens! Delicious! Easy to grow, incredibly nutritious, and will add beautiful color to your plate, beets have earned their place in your garden. Plant them!
Cabbage deserves more credit! It’s incredibly high in vitamins A, C, and K, and has an impressive amount of calcium, potassium, and folate. The term “superfood” gets thrown around a lot, but in the case of cabbage with its mild flavors, versatility in recipes, and being so easy to grow, cabbage really is super!
Quick, crunchy, and very nutritious, radishes have developed a bad rap for being spicy and bland. I'm here as the champion of the radish, the singer of praises, the pleader of second chances. With a few growing tricks, you'll fall in love with these little gems and will have them growing at the base of your other plants forever and ever!
Celery has a very long maturing time, and can be finicky about soil nutrients, but growing your own celery is easy when given enough time and compost! Growing your own is also very economical. When harvesting just what you need from the outside of the plants, they can continue to grow all season long. Here's what you need to know!
I hope this answers some questions, and helps you decide what type of squash, or squashes, you would like to grow this season. Don’t forget to take good notes so you can learn from your successes and failures, and share your stories! We become better gardeners by learning from each other.
I hope this will help you gain confidence and have fun! In my life, there is no greater joy than gardening. It connects us to ourselves, our ancestors, our health, and the earth, and that all feels priceless to me.
