[Magazine Cover] Gain full access to this premium magazine issue—and an entire Library of food gardening advice—with a [Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network!]( Dear Gardener, January isn’t exactly prime gardening season in our neck of the woods, but it’s certainly a great time to plan gardens while hibernating for the winter with a warm cup of tea and a stack of seed catalogs. Over the last few weeks, they’ve been trickling in, and I suspect by the end of January, we’ll be swimming in options and new varietals for the year, like the new long, thin, and colorful Glow Stix Moonrise Mix carrots that store longer in winter, or the golden red Harvest Moon tomato—with fewer defects and oversized fruits than the heirlooms it imitates. Discovering the new varietals released each January is a most exciting time! What’s also exciting is our new January issue of Food Gardening Magazine, where we dove deep into garden planning applications, including an extra-long in-depth video reviewing handful of the top garden planning apps. If you have been wanting to try out one of these desktop or mobile apps but aren’t sure which one to choose or how much to spend, you’ll be able to cut through the clutter and tune into our favorites in Garden Planning Tools & Apps for the Savvy Gardener. Speaking of garden planning, we’re also happy to announce there’s a new tab on our site for Gardening Kits! This is where Gold Members will find: - Printable Garden Planning Calendar Kits - Printable Garden Planning Kits - Printable Recipe Card Kits Check them out now, and download your favorites! But getting back to this month’s issue, there are also deep dives on three featured plants in our Hot Peppers Gardening Guide, The Everything Tomato Guide, and Oregano Gardening Guide. And, as always, more than a dozen delightful recipes are in store from the gardening guides highlighted in this issue. Here’s a look at some of what’s sprouting in the January Issue of Food Gardening Magazine: [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership Special Offer—Just $10 for an Entire Year!

You’ll get tons of tips for growing these three exciting plants, from choosing the type you want to grow to prepping your garden and all the way through harvesting and enjoying them in your kitchen. Once you’ve harvested all of those hot peppers at the end of the summer, it can be daunting to decide how you’ll use them all. That’s why we wrote, What to Do with Hot Peppers After a Big Harvest. While you’re busy planning this year’s garden, you’ll appreciate our list of The 10 Sweetest Tomatoes to Plant. Just about any tomato is delicious. However, some are more acidic or savory than others. Some tomatoes are known for tartness, while others have a distinct smokiness. There’s a tomato for everyone! But if you prefer your tomatoes on the sweet side, though, these 10 are for you. And if you have a patch of oregano in your herb garden and struggle to use it best, read Oregano: How to Unlock its Unique Flavor for more ideas!

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.
