[Your 12 FREE Food Garden Planning Articles!]( [Magazine Issues] Now, I’m gifting you these 12 articles, because I want you to have immediate access to them so you can plan now for your next perfect food garden: - “How to Plant a Food Garden According to Your Palate”—Winter is the season of garden planning, and once the holidays are over, I like to sit down and dream about what my garden will look like in the spring and get a head start on my gardening wish list. It's a good time to think about what you like to eat from your garden all summer and plan accordingly. Read about the right way to plan for this. - “Planning a Garden with the Best Vegetables for Pickling and Preservation”—When you come up with a plan for your garden, do you usually have a cuisine in mind? I know that when I plant, I always want to have tomatoes and basil on hand for Caprese salads, pesto, and tomato sauce. Though in reality, because my garden is always so full of fresh juicy vegetables, they sometimes go to waste because I haven't gotten to them in time. Here’s how to adjust so you don’t waste a thing! - “How to Get Seeds from Your Vegetables to Save for Next Year”—In the cooler months, one of my favorite gardening activities is looking through seed catalogs and planning my spring garden. And I don't know about you, but I know that in my experience it can be very tricky to get my hands on certain varieties of seeds that are either rare or in high demand. That's why I don't like to leave it to chance when I find a veggie I love, like a special heirloom tomato. Saving seeds from vegetables may seem like a lot of work, but if you enjoy it, it's really just part of the gardening cycle. If you want to learn how to get seeds from you vegetables, I’ll show you how! - “How to Train Squash to Grow Vertically”—If you’ve been looking for a way to grow more squash in your vegetable garden, but don't have the space or time for lots of plants growing every which way they please, then you should know how to train squash to grow vertically. It's easy and it will help maximize your space without sacrificing yield. Plus, squash and trellises are basically made for one another. Squash vines are vigorous, they love to sprawl out and they need support on which to climb. Discover how to do it yourself in this article! - “How to Build a Pole Bean Teepee Trellis”—Pole beans are my favorite things to grow. If I had to choose only 3 things to grow, it would be tomatoes, peppers, and pole beans. I harvest them all, cook with them constantly, and while some gardeners get overwhelmed, I say "bring it on!" Learn this technique now! - “The Biggest Differences Between Planting in Raised Beds vs. In-Ground”—Forget everything you know about gardening. Hold up. Maybe that's a bad idea. But if you've always had an in-ground garden and you're planting in raised beds this year, there are some differences you may want to know about. I recently turned my very low-maintenance in-ground garden into a fully raised-bed garden. Mostly for the vanity of it (let's be honest, they're just prettier) but also I'm getting old and my back hurts. Learn the differences and choose your gardening method now! - “How to Create a Custom DIY Drip Irrigation System for Raised Beds for Under $100”—When I updated my garden from in-ground to raised beds, one thing became apparent very quickly—that I'd need to come up with a DIY irrigation system, which is something I know most gardeners realize, at some point. The 'ol timed sprinkler is a good trick that I've used for many years, but raised beds are a whole new ballgame and they can dry out more quickly, just like other containers. Get this cheap-and-easy way to irrigate your raised beds now! - “Keeping Weeds at Bay in Your Raised Veggie Garden”—Let me tell you about that time I built a raised bed garden directly under a maple tree, and then didn't attempt to cover it or anything as all the seeds fell in the spring. Well my gardening friend, that is how you create a maple tree garden, because as innocent as those little seeds look, they would root in a crack in the gravel! Find out how to keep your raised garden weed-free now! - “Planning Out Bountiful Raised Beds”—If there’s one thing I love to do in a deep February New England winter, it's planning out my vegetable garden. Last year it was a whole new ballgame because I decided to plant new raised beds and I have almost always planted my garden directly in the ground. Get all the best tips for creating your own raised-bed garden now! - “Veggie Garden Irrigation 101”—There are three main ways to irrigate a garden, and all of them take effort (sorry!). I mean, yes, a sprinkler will do the job, but they're not efficient and vegetables want to be watered from the ground up if they have the choice—so. Learn ab out these three DIY methods now! - “Creating Garden Beds That Water Themselves”—When we moved to my new town, I was absolutely astonished by my first water bill. Our town not only has a brown-water issue on rainy days, but they also bill at rates that are unheard of to "fix" the water (jury's still out on that one). Getting these new outrageous bills has made me seriously consider my water usage, and when we built our raised beds I knew I’d need to figure out a more efficient watering method. Learn all about this creative solution now! - “How to Enclose a Vegetable Garden”—Not everyone needs to enclose a vegetable garden, and that's super great for them, but if you're in a wooded area and sometimes see Bambi and bunnies frolicking in your yard, it's probably likely that an enclosed vegetable garden is something you'll need to invest in at some point. Sure, there are other deterrents. But learn about this method for enclosing your garden to protect it from invaders now!
