Looking for inspiration? Check out the recently created Gardening photo of the week section, where we post four photos from our gardens weekly.
Gardening in a four-season grow zone, we use different methods and techniques to grow and harvest year-round.
We plant directly in the ground for large parts of the year. But also use raised garden beds, pots, containers, and hydroponic grow systems – and we love winter sowing.
Having a garden with plenty of space is, of course, great. But you can also start your herb and vegetable garden on a balcony or a kitchen countertop.
Here’s to developing your green fingers,
