The Edible Garden Newsletter October 2019 is now available. Our Edible Gardeners share with us the ways they enjoy their harvest. One garden has successfully experimented with making Flower Petal Jelly and shares her successes. Another tells us of even more ways to share rhubarb, a tart and tasty summer treat. Yet another gardener tells us of an unorthodox approach she took to harvest an abundance of red currants and an even more unorthodox approach to pruning. Our Bee Line series continues with a visit to the Corner Pollinator Garden. Enjoy.
Still time to register to our Ontario Native and Invasive Plants--Friends and Foes on October 26. For Details see Featured Post to the right.
