Q&A

What is celebrated on the first Saturday of May?

The first Saturday of May is celebrated as National Garden Naked Day.

What are some tips for someone who has never done any gardening?

It's good to talk to your local gardening store or a local farmer to find out the best varieties to grow in your area, do a little research, talk to your agricultural areas, and consider starting off small even if it's in a little garden pot on your carport or terrace.

How can you avoid bugs in your cabbage?

Plant your cabbage in a different place every year because bugs can't find them as easily, and they lay their eggs in one spot which can lead to more bugs the following year.

What can cause bloom rot in tomatoes, and how can it be prevented?

Bloom rot in tomatoes can be caused by a lack of calcium. To prevent this, you can go to your local store and buy a pack of Tums (containing calcium), crunch them up, and throw them in your garden.

What is a beneficial aspect of gardening your own produce?

Gardening your own produce is gratifying as it allows you to grow food from start to finish without using chemicals, and the harvest often tastes better since it's fresh from your own soil.

Can you participate in local farming if you don't have your own garden space?

Yes, you can participate by renting acreage from local farmers to grow your produce, or consider joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) where you buy shares of a farm and receive a portion of the harvest throughout the season.
