The articles here look at raised bed mistakes and the best soil mix for raised beds, as well as perennials for raised beds and fall planting in September and October. Container articles include a beginner's introduction and a guide to pot sizes for vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
Seasonal pieces take readers through April planting, August harvests and fall crops, December planning, and a month-by-month cold frame calendar. Other guides cover companion planting for pest control, composting for beginners, sustainable gardening, and growing food in the arid Desert Southwest.
