Gardening Tip: Preparing for Spring Planting

My garden is barren and brown now, and the earth is too cold to be worked. But now is a good time to plan a seed sowing and growing strategy to get a head start on the fast-approaching spring season.

Begin by analyzing the areas you wish to plant. What type of light does the area receive? What about the soil–is it moist, dry, lacking in organic matter? If you want to sow seed, can you provide supplemental water to the area if there is not enough natural precipitation for the first 4-6 weeks? Have weeds been a problem in the past?

Preplanning your garden strategy, analyzing your soil and site needs, and doing thorough site preparation are three keys to success when growing from seed. Selecting the right type of seed for your various garden areas is another. Finally, plan a maintenance and upkeep program, one that is realistic based on the amount of time available to maintain your garden by thinning, weeding and transplanting. It's better to divide the garden project into manageable phases that may span several years than to undertake a large-scale planting you cannot realistically maintain.

For more detailed information as you begin your garden planning, visit EarthlyGoods.com's site preparation and maintenance page.

Keeping Herbs Fresh

Fresh herbs are great to have on hand for healthy cooking, and it's easy to grow your own herbs. I've had success with both organic rice hull herbs and herb gardens in a pail. I like these so much that I added them to our product line at EarthlyGoods.com. Now that summer is coming to an end, it's an opportune time to get indoor herbs started.

Until you've started your own crop of indoor herbs, how can you keep herbs fresh if you've purchased them at a farmer's market or grocery store? There is a simple, effective method that can keep many herbs fresh for weeks. This is especially effective for basil and cilantro. Here's all you need to do:

As soon as you bring herbs home, remove any twist ties or rubber bands, trim the stem ends about 1/2 inch, and place in a few inches of water, enough to cover the base of the stems. Then cover the entire batch of herbs with a plastic bag that you've cut several holes in. Thin plastic produce bags, like you get at the grocery, work well.

Place this in a well-lit area, out of direct sun. You'll notice in a few days that some herbs will begin to sprout roots. You'll need to add fresh water to the container as needed.

Some people who use this method have been able to plant the herbs once they've rooted; others say that they have kept herbs fresh for up to 6 weeks. It's a simple way to get the most mileage out of your herbs and have fresh ones handy in the kitchen.
