Do you love the tart flavor of cranberries in a savory winter meal? Or the sweet, juicy delight of raspberries in a crumble, still steaming from the oven? Perhaps you enjoy the sunshiny presence of lemon to brighten a dish of garlicky roasted potatoes? Maybe this all sounds like the delicious results of a day in the kitchen listening to your favorite music while the aroma of warm fruits, delicate herbs, rich spices, and sweet and savory dishes fill your home. Honestly, it’s my ideal day. If you ask me, there’s nothing better than cooking, especially if those recipes include fruits and berries straight from your own garden. Of course, that brings up the issue of which fruits and berries to grow! And what to cook with all of them! That’s what we’re exploring in the new printable Food Gardening Network Fruits & Berries Recipe Card Kit. [Beets] I’ll admit, I found it challenging to decide which berries I wanted to grow in my garden. Some berries grow so easily that they can become invasive. Others are quite particular about anything from the soil to temperature. Climate plays a role, too. Boysenberries, for example, grow best in zones 6 to 9, while Gooseberries can grow as far north as the Arctic Circle! The more I looked into it and asked around, the more it became clear that other gardeners had similar questions. Soon enough, I had a stack of information for a number of berries, including how large the plants get, water and soil preferences, and even companion planting facts. And so, the brand new printable Food Gardening Network Fruits & Berries Recipe Card Kit was born. Or should I say it grew? If you, too, have wondered which berries and fruits you might want to grow, take a look. [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership Special Offer—Just $10 for an Entire Year!

Plus, you’ll find a chronological list of fruits to harvest from early spring through winter. Beginning with mangoes and pineapples and ending with oranges and lemons, you can discover more than 25 fruits that will keep you harvesting deliciousness for nearly the entire year. Then we get into the brambles, with in-depth explorations of ten different berries, from the well-known, such as strawberries and raspberries, to some interesting berries, such as goji berries and gooseberries. Did you know, for example, that raspberry juice was used as a dye on some of the illuminated manuscripts? Or that gooseberries are actually prohibited in some areas of the United States? On a more practical note, did you know that goji berries are hardy to below 0 degrees Fahrenheit? Honeyberries are hardy in cold climates, too, and are relatively low-maintenance as long as they get plenty of sunshine. There’s a bounty of similar information here that helped me a lot in narrowing down what to grow (or not!), that I hope you’ll find helpful, too. [Beets] Even if you decide not to grow any of the berries or fruits here, you can still enjoy them! And to help, there are more than 20 sweet and savory recipes in the printable Food Gardening Network Fruits & Berries Recipe Card Kit. One of my new favorites is the Blackberry Chocolate Chip Pie! There are 4 cups of fresh blackberries in this recipe, so you know it’s going to be good! The sweet chocolate complements the tartness of the berries perfectly, and the hint of cinnamon brings just enough depth to the flavors. And did I mention this is one of the easier pie recipes I’ve ever made? There are only 6 ingredients, plus the crust, and it takes about 20 minutes to make. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy how something so simple can bring the ultimate in happiness. Pie isn’t the only way to enjoy fruits and berries, though. The Grilled Tuna Steaks with Grape and Caper Salsa offers an abundance of savory flavor and texture, with salty capers, aromatic fresh parsley, and the sweet pop of red grapes, all contrasted with the mild presence of a perfectly grilled tuna steak. This printable Food Gardening Network Fruits & Berries Recipe Card Kit is 38 pages packed with exciting flavors, explorations of unique fruits and berries, and enough mouth-watering recipes to keep your kitchen, and your home, steeped in an intoxicating blend of aromas.

When I first started gardening, I made a lot of mistakes, and it didn’t come to me naturally. I had to go through dozens of books, piles of magazines, and about a million websites to figure out how to grow what I wanted. There was some luck, too. I have some friends who are experienced food gardeners, and I wasn’t shy about talking to the farmers I bought produce from at the markets and farm stands. That’s certainly one way to learn. I also realize that takes a lot of time and patience (and no small amount of Type A personality traits!). And honestly, there are times it would have been nice to have one source to discover a new vegetable (or rediscover some old favorites), and get all the information I needed to grow these vegetables in my garden. Well, now there is, thanks to the Food Gardening Network—a one-stop guide for all your gardening and cooking needs. From starting seeds to irrigation to pest control to indoor herb gardens, this is the information I wish I had when I was learning to garden. This is where the Food Gardening Network truly shines.
