Winter Gardening — Why Wait for Spring?

October 22, 2019 by Dan Potts Leave a Comment

Why Wait for Spring? Most gardeners believe the only way they can grow vegetable plants during the dead of winter is in some type of greenhouse.

DIY Greenhouses: Get a Go on your Gardening

May 10, 2018 by Dan Potts Leave a Comment

I have designed, built and managed a variety of different greenhouses over the past 40 years. All of them have been primarily intended for starting hundreds of transplants for many varieties of vegetables for our garden and many others. My wife and I have never actually used a greenhouse for growing food. Obviously, some folk do, although that would be more aligned to … [Read more...]

Preserving Your Harvest Through Canning

September 28, 2016 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

As I was growing up, my neighbors had a root cellar; a stone outbuilding that was always dark and cool. Inside, from floor to ceiling, were stacked bottles of peaches, cherries, jams, and tomatoes. Everything that grew in their garden was canned and kept for use throughout the year. Today, canning is becoming a lost art. But there are a few stalwarts who carry on the … [Read more...]

Vertical Gardening Tomatoes– See the Huge Difference!

June 17, 2014 by Richard Markosian 2 Comments

I started using this method after programming some lectures 12 years ago for the Mittleidter Gardening Group. All over the world Mittleider was teaching people how to grow food more efficiently often in small spaces with poor soil conditions. I will not claim that I have perfected the method, or that I am a "master gardener" and I will not say that this is the one and only … [Read more...]
