Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
I know a lot of you guys are excited to try your hand at growing food and flowers over autumn and winter, so let’s talk about what I’m going to be doing. Mid-August to early September is a great time to get going, the soil is still warm, summer crops […]
Are you thinking about planting onions in your garden this year? Good choice – they’re an absolute staple in so many meals in our house and last year I discovered just how easy they are to grow. Last year, however, I grew using something called sets. This year I’m growing […]
So maybe you are just tired of your plants getting trashed by frost and ice during the winter months? Or maybe you are trying to steal an extra few weeks of growing from Mother Nature. Either way, we’ve been doing a wee experiment in the garden that might be what […]
