All About Vegetable Gardening: Webinars, Videos, Podcasts, and Articles

 

May in our zone 5 garden is all about getting the vegetables planted. In Vermont we have this short window to get cool and warm season vegetables into the ground. It’s a mad dash, but somehow it always works out. There are tips and techniques that will make the vegetable gardening easier and more fun. That’s why I wrote this newsletter.

I start with two popular webinars I’ve done recently. The first is based on my new book, The Continuous Vegetable Garden and, the second based a little older book, The Complete Guide to No Dig Gardening. Information in both of these books and webinars really have made our edible gardening experience much easier, successful and fun. I hope you decide to purchase the webinars or books and can explore new ways to approach your edible gardens.

Of course, I also included podcasts, videos and articles from my website on Growing Vegetables in Containers, Growing Specialty Italian Vegetables and Harvesting Vegetables. It’s all to here help you be a better vegetable gardener.

Until next time I’ll be seeing you, in the garden.

The Continuous Vegetable Garden Webinar and Book

 

In my new book and webinar I explore a different approach to Vegetable Gardening. It has two main themes. One is to garden more in tune with Nature using techniques such as lasagna gardening (I go into more detail on no dig gardening in my other book), growing perennial vegetables and letting vegetables self sow. The second emphasis is on planting in such a way to have a continuous supply of vegetables from early spring to late fall. I use illustrated garden plans to highlight what your vegetable garden beds could look like in spring, summer and fall using techniques such as companion planting, interplanting and succession planting. Check out my Continuous Vegetable Garden book and webinar below.

 

 

No Dig Gardening Webinar and Book

 

Vegetable Raised Bed

Every gardener wants to grow plants with less work, more success and in an ecologically more friendly way. In my book and webinar, The Complete Guide to No-Dig Gardening, I explain how you can stop tilling, digging and turning your soil every year and start building healthy soil using Nature as a guide. I talk about the benefits of No Dig Gardening, the types of no dig systems, and how to set up and maintain a no dig bed year after year. Once set up it’s less work and your plants will grow better with less weeds and problems. I even talk about unique no dig systems such as straw bale gardening, hugelkultur and keyhole gardening. Check out my book and webinar on No Dig Gardening.
