The early hints of spring are here. The sunshine feels just a touch warmer, and there’s a softness in the air. My mouth is already excited about the sweet taste of fresh peas and snappy spring onions! I know I have to wait a little longer for them, but I’m ready to plant them just as soon as the soil is workable. March is such an exciting time for gardeners. Some of you may already have vegetables in the ground. Many more of us will be outside soon enough, getting our fingers dirty, smelling the first sprigs of grass emerge, and watching the thermometer so we can begin either starting our seeds indoors or moving some seedlings outdoors. As exciting as it is to think about all the fresh herbs and vegetables that will soon adorn our tables, there’s so much more to a garden. Did you know that gardens are abundant with much of what we need to cure many minor ailments? Peppermint for headaches, ginger for an upset stomach, garlic and oregano for colds… There's so much our gardens can offer us. That’s one of the reasons we’re including our special guide to home remedies with this issue of Food Gardening Magazine. Why suffer when relief is right there in your garden? That’s just the beginning of what’s ahead in the March issue of Food Gardening Magazine. [6 Vegetables to Plant in March] In all, you’ll find six featured articles, our special guide to home remedies, the printable 2024 Spring Garden Planning Calendar, and explorations of our three featured fruits and vegetables: Broccoli, Beets, and Rosemary. And, as always, there are some additional delightful recipes in store from the gardening guides highlighted in this issue. Take a look at the March Issue of Food Gardening Magazine.

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.
