A beautiful cob of corn, starting to form and then attacked by a racoon! Hmm, what can be done to protect these tasty plants from persistent critters?

Pickles, pickles, pickles!

Canning is an amazing thing! Pictured here are the dill pickles I recently made - $4 or a jar of dilly goodness :)

Plant photo challenge!

Check out Gardens to Grow by Scatterplots on facebook and participate in the "name-that-plant" photo challenge! Feel free to send in interesting plant photos and factoids :)

Pictured here is last week's plant photo: the potato plant.
A neat fact from littlepotatoes.com: "Potatoes are becoming more and more important in the developing world. That’s because they’re an easy crop to grow. They yield more nutritious food, more quickly and on less land than any other crop."

People even grow them in recycling bins! How cool is that? Reduce, reuse, and reap the benefits! 

Summer 2014: Ready to Grow!

Forget-Me-Not! (Hence the photo of these flowers, taken in Quebec :)
Though I (Rachel) have been traveling for the last month, Gardens to Grow and I are back and ready for summer! The hope is that both fresh and as canned produce will be available for sale through the business this summer. If you have a favourite canned recipe, let me know about it: rachel.m92@gmail.com. We shall see what adventures await in the garden and in the kitchen!

The Snider Family Farm

Like last year, Gardens to Grow is partnering with The Snider Family Farm in St. Clements in Summer 2014 to sell farm-fresh, chemical-free produce to customers in the Waterloo Region! 

Both traditional and unique all-natural produce offered includes:
Beets (red, albino, and golden), rainbow carrots, orange carrots, radicchio, eggplant, kohlrabi, kale, lettuce, cucumber, potatoes (red,
white, and even blue!), beans (green, yellow, and purple!), and much much more! Also available are a variety of flowers.

This summer, sign up to have vegetables delivered to your home or business on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in the quantity of your choice. To discuss prices, contact Rachel: rachel.m92@gmail.com.
