In Ontario we are just warming up now in April. The crocuses are flowering and other bulbs are just showing a little green. I can't wait for May 24th when we can plant out.

Thanks for the comment. I have had some bug issues in my salad bed but just tried something new. You put a yellow card on a stick and coat it with vaseline. It does not touch the food or soil so it should be safe. When I went out 3 hours later it already had 3 bugs stuck to it!

Hi Cindy! Welcome to KGI! Fenry Honda is actually Fenry the fourth. I've always had one of these reliable little hatchbacks for trekking around the garden centres. You are so lucky to live in California. We have awful weather for gardening so I can't wait to move to a warmer climate where I can garden all year long.

My father-in-law Fred Pond died ten years ago. He loved his garden and I still miss him a lot especially at this time of year when the seed catalogues start arriving. The Pond family lived on a seven acre homestead of sorts in Westford Massachuset...

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

The cooking shows are entertaining, but that's all. Some of my favorite recipes started with notes handed down from family. They're still as good as ever. James Beard, Joy of cooking, and Professional Chefs Manural are good references. I have over...

Red osier dogwood is just the best plant for this time of year – cut down some branches – you can find them in fields and ditches and then place them in garden pots or containers. Fill the over-season containers with soil to hold the stems. Attach...
