There's an anonymous quote out there about gardening that says, "gardening is cheaper than therapy, and you get tomatoes." I don't know about you, but gardening is definitely my most expensive hobby (except maybe skiing). Sure, I could save all my seeds, work harder to make as much compost as I need so I don't… Watch Video
I have zero regrets about planting blueberry bushes in my yard. In fact, they are my prized plants! My daughter will in fact, only eat blueberries in season, from our bushes. She refuses to eat them from the store. (I mean, who can blame her, really?) I have four bushes now, but after many years,… Watch Video
When it comes to seed starting, there are a variety of different methods that you can use depending on your preferences and the types of seeds you want to start. Some popular seed-starting methods include seed flats, seed tapes, seed mats, and peat pots. Traditional Seed-Starting Methods Seed flats: Seed flats are trays or containers… Watch Video
There's a lot to say about watering. And there is definitely enough to put it into a "Watering A to Z" list. I will tell you, though, this was challenging. I could have repeated some letters several times! Watering is a tricky task. I have overwatered, underwatered, and completely forgotten about that poor plant in… Watch Video
If anyone ever said that a Type A personality and gardening didn't mix, they never heard of seed tape. Have you heard of it? This tool is the best way to feed your neuroses of perfectly spaced vegetables like carrots, lettuce, radishes, beans, and other seeds you tend to plant in bulk. It's a bit hard to find in stores, but that's fine because it's totally easy to make DIY seed tape. Watch Video

As a more “earthy” gardener who digs with her hands and often goes barefoot in the garden, I have to admit that until now, I’ve always gone the do-it-yourself route for starting seeds indoors. In the beginning, I would always buy grown seedlings from the incredible farmers co-op down the road from me, but once I started growing my own, they were always planted in everything from eggshells to egg cartons, to BPA-free plastic bottle bottoms.

I think of most things I grow as comfort food, there's just something so satisfying about going out into the garden and transforming it into a meal. One of my favorite garden go-to's is salad in the late summer, with juicy tomatoes, crisp peppers and lettuce, and fragrant basil. But I'm not sure that spells… Watch Video
As a kid, I lapped up bowls of fruit ambrosia at our family gatherings. You know the stuff - canned mixed fruit with fluorescent cherries, in a fluffy batter of marshmallow, whipped cream, and sour cream - what a delight! As a verified grown-up (or at least that's what my daughter tells me), I think… Watch Video
Pickling is so much fun, but there's a lot of confusion around it, so many people are a little afraid to do it! I totally get that too, because fermented pickles are a science show all on their own. But that's not the only way you can pickle, and in fact, there are many ways to do it. Watch Video
