Did you know that fresh salad from the garden tastes SWEETEST in the spring and in the fall?

Well, more accurately, your salad greens and root vegetables (like carrots) taste sweeter the COLDER it is outside when you harvest. That’s because the carrot is protecting itself from the cold. It wants to survive. So it stores extra sugars to protect its cells from forming ice crystals. And that sugar storage prevents those cells from rupturing during cold frosts. Isn’t that cool?! Your plants are so smart 😉 And lucky for us, that makes them TASTE BETTER, too!

So now’s the time to grow those salad greens and carrots.  Wonder how much salad you can grow in the next 42 days… Check out an inspiring story from one of my students, Carolyn!

There comes a time in every gardener’s life when you have zucchini growing out of your ears. If you’ve ever grown zucchini, you know: one day, they are just small green plants, the next thing you know, there are zucchini EVERYWHERE!

Check out my three favorite zucchini recipes. Kids love these recipes too. It’s a great way to have some family fun.

I mean, who doesn’t love a crunchy pickle?!

Stuck in a garden rut? Trying the same things over and over without seeing the results you’re looking for?

Maybe it’s time to try something new and find a new perspective.

Gardening is all about your mindset.

When you think you’re stuck… you really are stuck. So here’s one thing that will help you see new possibilities. It works every time.

Maybe you can relate… My home has three garden trowels and typically, NONE of them can be found. They get lost and we waste precious time hunting for our garden tools instead of gardening. Who’s great idea was it to make garden tools the same color as the Earth and the plants, anyway? They blend in so well, making them difficult to find!

I was fed up… a solution was long overdue. So, I shared four HACKS with my housemates and guess what? No more lost tools!

So a “HACK” is a new way of doing something that  makes it easier, simpler, or faster and reduces frustration.  Who knew we would need a hack to find our tools, but we did 😉

There are four types and you can use these strategies to solve just about any problem in your garden.
