Extractions: The Kitchen Garden Yearbook: Month-by-Month Guide to Growing Your Own Vegetables Average customer rating: This colourful and concise book explains in suitable detail the methods for growing all types of vegetables, including less common varieties such as horseradish and okra. The book also contains sections about vegetable fruits and herbs. It begins with the basics of growing vegetables: appropriate tools, preparing the soil. Watering, compost, manure and fertilisers are all given attention, as are the best sowing techniques. Each vegetable is discussed, along with useful tips relevant to each. A practical month-by-month guide for the gardening year is also included. The only drawback for the environmentally-friendly gardener is that it does not emphasise organic techniques enough, for the environment-conscious gardener.

Extractions: Green Screens APRIL 1999 by Gary Kline Special to the Green Pages only organic and thus may be no more nutritious than non-organically grown foods. I am speaking in generalities, of course. Some organically grown foods are undoubtedly highly nutritious. But how is one to know? Farmers do not generally grow with nutritional content uppermost in mind. They get paid by the pound, bushel, or ton produced rather than the vitamins, minerals, and protein quality of their produce or livestock. If you accept that we are what we eat, and you wish to enjoy peak health, then you should be interested to know why I suspect most organic foods are nutritionally sub-par and what needs to be done about it. Simply because food is organic does not mean it automatically contains adequate nutrients. In fact, the nutritional quality of nearly all food grown in this country has steadily declined over the past century as virgin soils have been exploited, degraded and depleted of both organic matter and minerals. This trend correlates with the dramatic rise in degenerative diseases which probably are more a matter of nutrient decline and altered diet than of environmental contaminants. If the necessary nutrients are not already in the soil naturally, or they have been extracted without being restored, they have to be added in the form of fertilizers and other soil-improving materials. In certain parts of this country, particularly east of the Mississippi and here in the maritime northwest, nutrient deficiencies are common, due to high annual rainfalls. Certain nutrients, particularly phosphorous and calcium, are notoriously deficient in soils west of the Cascades. Phosphorous was always lacking in the native rock from which our soils evolved. Calcium and other minerals are leached out of the topsoil and down into the ground water about as fast as they are released by weathering of rock particles.

Extractions: These sheep, raised on Bruce Dunlop's Lopez Island farm, have an idyllic life, grazing free-range on natural pasture. Their meat is a gourmet treat Dunlop sells direct from the farm. These customers buy their produce by subscription from Terry Carkner's farm in Puyallup. They pick up their vegetables weekly right at the farm. HERE, ON THIS farm in the belly of the Puyallup Valley, the soil is deep and rich as fudge, nurturing honey-sweet corn, perfect baby artichokes, lush lettuces the color of limes and emeralds. In the barn, gleaming strawberries perfume the air; peas swell in snapping-fresh pods. Through the drowsy days of summer and into fall, customers swarm like bees in the barn, hovering over tables piled with produce picked that morning. Terry Carkner, who owns and works this farm full time, sells everything she grows within 30 miles, and never leaves her driveway to do it. She has so much business she turns people away. Carkner has been farming here now for 20 years, but it wasn't always this way.

Extractions: Growing a Vegetable Garden R.A. McNeilan If you want to print this publication, we recommend downloading the PDF version. Even in times of a water shortage, you can grow a vegetable garden if you use special water-efficient practices. You might also consider some of these practices if your area's water is normally in short supply or expensiveor both. For efficient water conservation, prepare a soil surface for maximum water penetration. This means planting in a flat surface instead of any combination of raised mounds, beds, or ditches. The "hill" referred to on a seed packet usually means a grouping of seeds rather than a raised area. A raised area, once it has dried, is very difficult to wet again. Water runs away from the root zone of the plant and is wasted. Managing soil tilth to include additional organic matter will promote water penetration and retention. Organic material can include plant residue from garden plants, leaves, straw, manure, sawdust, bark, etc. Apply these additions annually. Adequate fertility levels will help produce crops that require limited water. A fertilizer such as 5-10-10 at the rate of

Extractions: Own Vegetables Composting Container Gardens Fall/Winter Gardens Fertilizing Insect Pests Plant Diseases Planting Guidelines ... More Information Getting started Planting Preparing plants for winter If you live west of the Cascades, there's a good chance you can garden almost year-round with a little extra effort. Many cool-season crops produce well in the fall and even hold through the winter if protected. Good crops for fall and winter gardens include salad greens, cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, carrots, leeks, beets, turnips, scallions, parsley, cilantro, spinach, and parsnips. You can plant these vegetables in mid- to late summer after you harvest spring crops and space is available. The first key to a successful fall and winter garden is location. Good drainage is essential, and raised beds are best. If your soil doesn't drain well, amend it with organic matter such as compost. (See story on improving soil Don't plant in a spot that is prone to early frost (for example, at the bottom of a hill) or exposed to the wind. Look for an area that gets as much sun as possible during winter. A south-facing slope is ideal.

Extractions: This method works best with leaf or Romaine lettuces. For variety, mix in mustard greens, Arugula, corn salad, and other leafy greens. Select an unshaded, well-drained spot. Prepare a rich seedbed. Mix an inch or two of compost, plus balanced organic fertilizer such as Whitney Farms All-Purpose Organic Fertilizer into the top six inches of a raised bed or planter. This is a good time to lime acid soils. Sow seeds densely. Scatter seeds over the entire surface of a raised bad or planter so that there is about one seed per square inch. Cover the seeds with 1/4" sifted compost or Whitney Farms Seed Starting Mix. OR, sow one seed per inch of row in furrows spaced 2 to 6 inches apart. Harvest Tender Leaves Thin (and eat) seedlings to 2" spacing. As plants grow crowded, harvest outside leaves as needed. OR, use a scissors to "mow" patches of greens. Continue to harvest this way as long as plants are sweet tasting and productive. To keep greens sweet and succulent, fertilize with a liquid fertilizer such as

Extractions: ISSN: 1063-262X UPDATE NOTICE: This publication includes resources on Organic Gardening published prior to 1989. A revised edition was published in 2003 covering resources published between 1989 and September 2003. Pioneers of organic practices in the United States have acknowledged their debt to these men and to those others whose written works continue to influence us. J. I. Rodale, believed by many to be the father of organic practices in the U.S., called Sir Albert Howard of England the "father of the movement". Howard's classic study on soil fertility, "An Agricultural Testament" (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1940) includes a chapter on the "Agriculture of the Nations Which Have Passed Away" as well as observations of agricultural techniques practiced in both the Orient and the Occident. There has always been a wide range of variation in organic gardening practices. From the purist view of followers of Masanobu Fukuoka of Japan, who advocates "no tillage, no fertilizer, no pesticides, no weeding, and no pruning" ("The Natural Way of Farming: the Theory and Practice of Green Philosophy", Tokyo, Japan Publications, 1985) to the perspective of those gardeners who seek to combine conventional and organic procedures, the field of opportunity for choice in organic gardening practice is fertile indeed. We hope that this Agri-Topic will assist you in making the choices appropriate to your situation and philosophy. Whether you are landscaping a small city backyard, planning a community garden, protecting the environment and/or your pocketbook, or just endeavoring to grow tastier fruits and vegetables for home or market, we wish you each, "Good Gardening!"
