A modern vegetable garden is about more than putting some seeds in the ground. It’s about understanding and embracing organic farming techniques to ensure healthy crops.
For example, thinning tree canopies can provide enough dappled light to grow part-shade crops like tomatoes and lettuce. And rotating crop locations prevents pests from building up in the soil.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and the official start to summer. And while most gardeners in Alaska have already got their hands dirty, now is the time of year when gardening is at its peak.
