Edible Garden Newsletter December 2017

Lanark County Master Gardeners
The Edible Garden Newsletter December 2017 looks back on the successes, failures, surprises and lessons learned from our Master Gardeners.  One gardener purchased a young artichoke and by the end of the season was eating one from her garden.  Learn how to grow, cook and enjoy.  Hedgerows provide a barrier to mark a boundary, provide privacy or prevent trespass.  They also can act as a windbreak, provide shelter.  You can even improve its usefulness by making it an Edible hedgerow.

The Edible Garden Newsletter November 2017 contains an Ode to the Chokecherry in an article about Progress and Regress on the Prairies and how much of the native fruit species and fruiting hedges have been plowed under to make way for mega farms.  We learn how the factors that affect taste of vegetables and fruits are many and intertwined.  Finally see how an Allotment Garden can ease the transition from life on a large rural country garden to a high rise condo.  All of this in the November Edible Garden newsletter.
