Garden to Garden: Plants that deer and rabbits don't eat, as much

http://gardentogarden.blogspot.com/2015/06/plants-that-deer-and-rabbits-dont-eat.html

Gardening in Southeast Michigan. Wednesday, June 3, 2015. Plants that deer and rabbits don't eat, as much. First of all, deer absolutely love hostas. If you like watching deer in your backyard, plant a whole bunch of hostas. Flowers that are usually left alone by deer, most of these are perennials. Marjoram, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage, Spearmint and Thyme. Their favorites as I know from personal experience, are green beans, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, carrots, peas and broccoli, beets and other greens.

Garden to Garden: May 2015

http://gardentogarden.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Gardening in Southeast Michigan. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Picking herbs and greens. Basil's a little different. You should cut the stock or branch, just above leaves, yet below the leaves you want to harvest. Picking in the morning is the best time of day, especially for greens and herbs. Pick leaves often to prevent the plants from bolting, or going to seed. Because once they go to seed, many of the plants lose their flavor or stop producing leaves. Monday, May 25, 2015. 3 cups rhubarb, chopped. In a sau...

Garden to Garden: Preserving fruit and vegetables

http://gardentogarden.blogspot.com/2015/08/preserving-fruit-and-vegetables.html

Gardening in Southeast Michigan. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Preserving fruit and vegetables. Whether to can, freeze or dry produce, depends on what vegetable and how much effort and time a person wants to devote. Freezing vegetables is the fastest. Canning takes longer, but is better for maintaining vegetable texture. Canning is definitely best for salsa and pickles. Drying might be the easiest, but it has limited use, such as for herbs, mushrooms and fruit. Large bowl in the sink filled with ice water.
