For many of us, gardening is so much more than a hobby. It’s an addiction, a passion, something we can’t live without. Even at the commercial level, there is so much pride in being able to produce top-quality products. I hope some of the articles in this edition inspire you to try something different and push your creative and technical boundaries.
This edition has so much to offer, and Garden Culture is lucky to have so many great gardeners sharing their wisdom. Everest Fernandez shares his insights in the articles “Side Lighting—Do or Die?” and “How To Grow Micro-Cilantro.” In “How The Pros Handle Pest Control,” Andrea Keddy shares invaluable advice and tips on how to avoid pest problems in the garden.
One of the biggest challenges for all gardeners is getting the water schedule just right. In “Watering (is not) for Dummies,” Av Singh walks us through some of the fundamentals of water and gives some great tips on better understanding water’s importance in your success.
When growing outdoors, it is harder to control the rain we get. And when we inevitably get those big storms, it is better to be prepared. In “Small & Mighty: The Impact of Ground Covers in the Garden,” Jennifer Cole talks to author and gardening expert Gary Lewis about his book, “The Complete Book of Ground Covers.” All gardeners can benefit from reading about keeping their soil covered.
Happy gardening!
