COVID-19 - Gardener's Doing Our Part
If you have a vegetable garden, and are harvesting more than you can
handle right now, you can help the millions of Americans who are out of
work due to COVID-19. Many food shelves and pantries will take your
excess fruits and vegetables. Just harvest them, wash them off, let them
dry, and deliver them.
Contact a local food shelf or your local
church food pantry in advance, and work out the details of delivery.
Some, but not all organizations will take your fresh produce.
It's a great feeling to know you've done something to make another
person's life a little better. Thanks!
Enjoying the Harvest - Harvesting the first few fruits and
vegetables is a real joy. Now, everything is ripe at the same time, and you
don't know what to do with it all. What you need is more different and unique
recipes.

Garlic Planting Time When the weather cools in your area, but before
the ground freezes, it's time to plant garlic bulbs. Plant them now, and
you'll get a great crop in early summer. More

Composting .... Don't throw out those dead plants...... compost them.
Collect your garden waste, along the weeds and other plant matter. Turn
it into rich garden soil for next season. The best gardens are grown by gardeners
who make their own compost.

Back to Houseplants As we edge closer to the first frost, it is time
to select the plants that you will bring indoors to grow as houseplants.
If you haven't done so before, try a few herbs. Ones like basil, chives and
oregano are good candidates to grow indoors. In addition to being good
houseplants, you can use them in the kitchen. Winter long.
