seed storage ideas

I’m an organization nerd (and a seed storage geek). It’s why I’m so attracted to Square Foot Gardening. I like it when things have their place.

Carrots usually arrive in shades of orange, purple, yellow, or white, so a green ring around the top can look like the vegetable has wandered into the wrong garden department.

Can You Move a Raised Bed Without Replacing All the Soil?

Good news, gardeners: a raised bed can move without sending all that beautiful, expensive soil to the compost pile.
