Edible Garden Newsletter January 2018

Lanark County Master Gardeners
Edible Garden Newsletter January 2018 is now here.  This is the time of year when vegetable gardeners pour over the seed catalogues to determine what to plant.  How long are my tomato seeds viable?  Is there anyway I can check if they are still viable. How should I store my seeds if I once again, over order.  Find out here.  We all know that some vegetables like to be planted near each other while others do not want to be anywhere near each other.  This month we feature an article on companion planting with a handy chart that shows who likes each other and who does not.  Who knew that cabbage likes to be near Bush Beans but does not like being near Pole Beans.

World Plants

Lanark County Master Gardeners
Our Blog is changing.  In the past, we had a widget on the left side of the Blog that provided access to Canada Plant Website.  That website has disappeared and our blog modified to provide access to World Plant Website.  Enter the website by various plant categories, such as Annual, Perennial, Woody, Bulbs and search for your plant based on common name or botanical name.  If you are looking to identify a plant, enter various plant features and conduct a search.  In addition to searching for plants, the website has other resources that you may find helpful, such as links to presentations, articles and images.  All are copyrighted but may be used for educational purposes.  Spend a little time looking around this new feature and we are sure you will like it as much as we do.

Canada's 150th Birthday celebration is drawing to a close.  Our special Side Bar Feature, Canada's Garden Route will soon be removed from our blog.  Hope you enjoyed it.

Edible Garden Newsletter December 2017

Lanark County Master Gardeners
The Edible Garden Newsletter December 2017 looks back on the successes, failures, surprises and lessons learned from our Master Gardeners.  One gardener purchased a young artichoke and by the end of the season was eating one from her garden.  Learn how to grow, cook and enjoy.  Hedgerows provide a barrier to mark a boundary, provide privacy or prevent trespass.  They also can act as a windbreak, provide shelter.  You can even improve its usefulness by making it an Edible hedgerow.

Edible Garden Newsletter November 2017

Lanark County Master Gardeners
The Edible Garden Newsletter November 2017 contains an Ode to the Chokecherry in an article about Progress and Regress on the Prairies and how much of the native fruit species and fruiting hedges have been plowed under to make way for mega farms.  We learn how the factors that affect taste of vegetables and fruits are many and intertwined.  Finally see how an Allotment Garden can ease the transition from life on a large rural country garden to a high rise condo.  All of this in the November Edible Garden newsletter.
