Herb gardening is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding hobbies out there. Not only does it give you fresh herbs to cook with, but it also adds a splash of color and fragrance to your home when you grow them indoors or hang them to dry at the end of the season. Plus, there's… Watch Video
Some plants like the cool weather, while others prefer the heat. Some plants are easy to start indoors, like tomatoes, and others prefer to be planted directly, like beans. One of my rules of thumb is to visit my local garden center and follow their guidance. They don't typically put anything out until it's safe for them to be planted. That's why you might see herbs in May, but not tomatoes until late May or June. 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
Every month we love to share the best fruits, vegetables, and herbs you can plant, but since May is such a big month for planting, it would have been a shorter list of what NOT to plant in May. In most four-season planting zones, May is the most appreciated time to start on your garden; The ground is thawed, and the risk of frost is virtually gone. Watch Video
When I updated my garden from in-ground to raised beds, one thing became apparent very quickly—that I'd need to come up with a DIY irrigation system, which is something I know most gardeners realize, at some point.

It seems like a myth that you can just chop the head or behind of a vegetable and it'll just start producing, but it's actually true. And depending on how much space you want to devote to this effort, you could grow a decent bounty of greens for soups and stocks with your veggie scraps. It's not very fast, but it's a lot of fun to do and kids get a kick out of it. Plus, if you're regrowing green onions, you'll have garnish for meals indefinitely. Watch Video
Before you start applying fertilizers and lime treatments to your soil, take a sample and have it tested, either at home or professionally. Soil tests are like DNA kits for your gardens. So many people amend their soil without even knowing what they're trying to fix. DIY soil testing can often prevent the need for… Watch Video
When I learned that this month's growables would be rosemary, asparagus and kumquats, I thought to myself: challenge accepted. Instead of picking one to create a scrumptious recipe for, I thought it would be even more fun to use all of them and see what I could come up with. Watch Video
I’ve never understood why most cauliflower crust pizzas sold in stores use flour. After all, isn’t the whole point of making a cauliflower crust, to skip over grains and gluten? Watch Video
Is there really a good way to get excited about salad? I know a few. And if you have a few homemade salad dressing recipes up your sleeve, I know you will too. Plus, sometimes dinner is just hard. Whether you're tired from working, caring for kids, or doing both at the same time, the last thing you need is anything BUT a pressure cooker dump meal. Watch Video
