Organic Gardening - Grow Organic Vegetables in Your Home Garden

Grow Your Own Food – WFAE Interview

We’ve all heard about the benefits of “eating local.” Well, you can’t get more local than your own backyard! If you haven’t planted yet, or even if you have, we’ll explore the best practices for planting and maintaining your beds for the most delicious and nutritious vegetables, even with little yard space to work with. Before you know it, you’ll have more tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers than you know what to do with! So we’ll fill you in on creative ways to cook them to get the most out of your summer harvest – from salads, soups and salsas to grilling and more. Join us for summer gardening advice from the experts, tips for preparing and enjoying your summer bounty, plus a look at the health benefits of eating from your own garden. Gardening meets cooking, when Charlotte Talks.
