Home and Garden - Gardening

By: JulieMcMurchie     26-May-2011

Introduction:

If you are not familiar with the Wood Streets Gardens, we are growing food to share. One in six Americans is at risk for hunger, and we believe the vegetable gardens growing across American can help end hunger. Our blog is dedicated to helping people learn how to grow their own food and encouraging people to share extras from their garden harvest.

Feed Your Street

This post is about fighting hunger at the most local level - your own neighborhood. There are people everywhere that need help with food. Your gardens help provide security for your own family and your neighbors.

Organic Slug and Snail Control In the Vegetable Garden

I've never met a gardener who welcomes snails and slugs into the garden. If you are committed to chemical free pest control, this post will give you some ideas on how to keep those slimy creatures away from the food you are growing.

Summer Squash and Blossom End Rot

Blossom end rot is a common problem with summer squash. It is caused by a lack of calcium in the developing squash. Learn how you can fix the problem without using synthetic fertilizers.

Growing Artichokes In Inland Southern California

Artichokes are finicky plants. They sprout from seed easily, but keeping the plants alive is the tricky part. Inland Southern California gardeners who successfully nurture them to maturity will enjoy perennial harvests and plenty of plants to keep them growing for several years.

Family Gardens, Garden Geeks and Good Eats

My personal thoughts on the family of gardeners and cooks that I am blessed to be a part of. Written after one of our amazing, loud, funny and heartwarming get-togethers.




Final Thoughts

My husband and I work our gardens together. We grow food for our family, and share the excess. It is better to share than to waste food from your gardens. We are doing our little part to end hunger in our community and in America. Please support our Wood Streets Gardens blog (link below). Your support will help us keep growing against hunger.
