[August Issue 2022] Gain full access to this premium issue—and an entire Library of food gardening advice—with a [Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network!]( Dear Gardener, Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer! Yes, we’re in the middle of the dog days, having started on July 3rd and ending August 11th. The dog days are the hot and humid days of this season, tied historically to the period following the rise of Sirius (the “Dog Star”). Ancient astrologers connected this period with heat, drought, fierce thunderstorms, laziness, and—rumor has it—dogs gone mad! And what could be better during these sultry-and-sweltering summer days than enjoying cool and delightful cocktails, made with garden-fresh ingredients? Sit on your porch after a day of gardening, and enjoy a cool and refreshing beverage that allows you to use the fruits of your gardening labor to whip up a drink like you’re a professional mixologist. If you’re looking for new ways to enjoy both a cool summer beverage and ingredients from your garden, try out the three recipes in August 2022 issue of Food Gardening Magazine. You’ll learn how to make a Cucumber Gimlet, Limoncello Sunrise, and Knockout Peach-Berry Fizz in the “Garden-to-Glass Cocktails” article. Invite family, friends, and neighbors over to enjoy your bartending skills and your freshly made summer cocktails! And these cocktail recipes focus on ingredients that are usually abundant in your garden. Maybe you sometimes struggle to figure out what to do with all the extras—you’ve found your answer in this article.

Consider some of these tidbits that I discovered while reading these gardening guides, to get you thinking about what you might want to plant in your garden. - Did you know that ginger is both a spice and an herb? Well, that’s because we use and enjoy its roots (a spice). And ginger is an herb, because the foliage can also be used in cooking or as a garnish. - You may know that fennel is technically not a root vegetable, because the often-used bulbs actually grow above ground. But, did you also know that you can use all five parts of fennel? Bulbs, stalks, fronds, flowers, and seeds—versatile, useful, and tasty, every bit of it! - Did you know that peaches are native to China? And that—while Georgia is known as the Peach State—California and South Carolina are number one and two, respectively, for peach-producing states? Who knew! [Peach Cobbler] To help guide you through these three foods and our gardening guides, you’ll find in this edition of Food Gardening Magazine Gardening Guide Close-Ups that focus on ginger, fennel, and peaches. These in-depth articles give you valuable tips and advice about these three foods, and you’ll have instant access to the premium gardening guides themselves, too. Be first to read these Gardening Guide Close-Ups, to get a head start on how to grow these foods: - How to Use Ginger: Adding Spice to Your Life!: Seven fun and unique ways for how to use ginger to soothe and heal your body and soul. You probably never knew how beneficial ginger can be! - How to Turn Anyone Into a Fennel Lover: Enjoy all five parts of a fennel plant to certify yourself as a fennel lover! And once you’ve mastered how to use and cook fennel, see how many converts you can get to also become fennel lovers. - Perfect Peaches: Enjoy Them in Your Life!: Best ways to ensure you enjoy perfect peaches! Find out how to spot a peach’s perfect ripeness; how to peel a peach the right way; and best ways to store peaches. And then there are the recipes you’ll find in these three gardening guides!
