🐝 Save the Bees 🐝
Bees are an essential partner to our beautiful vegetable and flower gardens. A world without bees would be devastating to our food system and nature. We need to continue researching to understand what is causing their ever shrinking numbers and find a way to remedy the situation.
And there is a way that you can help! You are invited to partner with Grow Your Own Vegetables and others from the Superfood Garden Summit to support the Save the Bee initiative. By donating to this important cause, you will help to…
🐝 Increase awareness of the role honey bees play in a healthy food supply
🐝 Fund scientific research on the causes and solutions to declining bee population
🐝 Provide education of best practices to farmers, gardeners, and beekeepers
🐝 We can all agree that we need and want to help our pollinator friends and ensure that they are around to continue to help the world’s gardens for years to come. 🐝
🍅 Green Tomato Uses 🍅
Once the temperature is below 50℉, tomato plants stop producing. However, you may still have some green tomatoes left on your vines. If you need ideas on how to utilize these green tomatoes and continue enjoying the tasty fruits into the fall, watch this short video that contains great ways to not let your green tomatoes go to waste.
📰 Extra! Extra! Seed All About It! 📰
The seeds that you plant are a reflection of who you are and your partnership with nature. There are lots of different variations of seeds, which can be overwhelming and confusing. For this reason, a Seeds Micro Course is part of the Grow Your Own Vegetables curriculum.
In the Seeds Micro Course, you’ll learn the differences between…
🌰 Conventional and Organic
🌰 Open Pollinated and Hybrid
🌰 Open Pollinated and True to Type
🌰 True to Type and Heirloom
🌰 Heirloom and Heritage
🌰 GMOs…and literally all seeds throughout history
In order to select the seeds that align with your values, you need to understand the many different types available to you. The Seeds Micro Course provides you with a strong foundation in order to understand what you’re planting.
