Easy Gardening...Asparagus Jerry Parsons and Sam Cotner, Extension Horticulturists Texas Agricultural Extension Service Asparagus is a highly productive vegetable best suited to cooler areas of North and West Texas. Grown for the stems or spears, a well tended planting yields 8 to 10 pounds or more per 100 square feet of bed or 24 to 30 pounds per 100 feet of row. For most home gardeners, one row is adequate. An asparagus planting lasts 15 to 25 years without replanting if it is well cared for and the climate is suitable. It does not do well if summers are extremely hot and long and winters are mild. Asparagus is grown from 1-year-old plants or "crowns" planted in January or February. Crowns grow from seed planted in flats or peat cups in October for January transplanting, or they are transplanted from an existing asparagus bed. To get healthy, vigorous plants, buy 1-year-old crowns from a nursery or garden center or order them from a seed catalog. It takes 1 year to grow a good crown. It requires 3 years from the time the crown is planted until the bed is in full production. Buds arise from the crown when conditions are favorable and develop into edible spears. If these spears are not harvested and are allowed to continue growing, they develop into "fern-like" stalks.

Easy Gardening...Carrots Sam Cotner, Extension Horticulturist Texas Agricultural Extension Service Carrots grow best in cool temperatures of early spring and late fall. Night temperatures of 55 degrees and day temperatures of 75 degrees are ideal for carrots. High temperatures cause poorly colored, low quality carrots. They will grow in some shade and do well in small gardens and flower beds. Soil Preparation and Fertilization Carrots do best in loose, sandy loam soils which are well drained. In heavy soils they mature slower and often the roots are rough and unattractive. Clear the soil surface of rocks, trash and large pieces of plant material. Small, fine pieces of plant material can be turned under for soil enrichment. Spade the soil 8-12 inches deep. Turn the soil completely over so all plant material is covered. Scatter 1 cup of complete fertilizer such as 10-20-10 on the soil for each 10 feet of row to be planted. Using a rake, work the fertilizer into the soil to a depth of 3-4 inches. Smooth the soil and work it up into beds as shown. Beds allow good movement of air and water through the soil. Place carrot rows 1-2 feet apart. If ridges are farther apart, plant two rows of carrots on each ridge.

These programs benefit the 400-member agencies that include charities, churches and social service organizations. These agencies receive food from the Food Bank and distribute it to North Texans in need through their pantry and on-site meal programs. back to top Louise Gartner founded the Charitable Produce Center in 1994 to transform the tremendous amount of waste in the fresh produce market into a source of sustenance for hungry North Texans. In 1999, with a grant from Kraft Foods, Inc., the Food Bank extended this concept by developing the Rural Produce Initiative, which distributes fresh produce to agencies outside of Dallas County each week. In fiscal year 2003 the program delivered more than 600,000 pounds of produce to seven rural North Texas counties. In 2002, more than four million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables were distributed to Member Agencies through the Produce Center.

Resources for Starting Your Own Preserved Foods Business: Can I sell my home preserved food? Brian A. Nummer, Ph.D. Elizabeth L. Andress, Ph. D. National Center for Home Food Preservation April 2003 Can I sell food made in my home kitchen? The short answer is, "probably not." Each state is different, so proper advice is needed from a specialist in each state. Some states allow sales at farmer's markets of select foods; others prohibit sales altogether. The National Center for Home Food Preservation does NOT provide guidelines to home food preservers who wish to take the next step from home food preservation to commercial food preservation. Home food preservation is not regulated; however, food preservation and processing for commercial purposes is regulated. There are federal level regulations from the U.S. FDA (also USDA for meat and poultry products), state level regulations, and often county or city regulations.
