What got you interested in growing your own food?
For us, we started this journey after we had children. We both enjoyed vegetables from our parents and grandparents gardens with fond memories of enjoying it right off the plant and felt that the flavour we remembered from childhood was rarely found at the grocery store. We wanted to provide the best food possible for our children and knew if we could grow great tasting vegetables, we wouldn’t have to resort to dinner table negotiations. And we knew we made the right decision when they would ask for seconds. Now we grow for our community and it’s feels incredibly rewarding when we’re told how great our food tastes.

Mine is definitely the cucumber beetle, it’s brought my cucumber and zucchini crops to early endings. Next would be wireworms, we turned a hayfield into a market garden and hayfields tend to have large populations of them. They are the larvae of click beetles and mature in the soil for 3 years. I’ve had success with nematodes, as well as using potato and carrot pieces to lure them. And third would be onion maggot, the larvae of a small fly. This one I’m still trying to figure out as it became a big issue last season. I may try mint and oregano teas, using diatomaceous earth around base but depending on rain I could go through a lot of both. A biological like BTK might be another option.

🥕 🥕🥕 & 🧄🧄🧄 Those are the two I do very well and they don’t require to much effort. I always say, I wish I would of started by growing garlic for a few years. But I do love trying to grow new things, so I’m happy with doing a market garden. Though I have reigned myself in over the years and have narrowed the garden down to what’s people want over what I want and have the time to grow well. 😊 What about you?

Why do cows have hooves instead of feet? Because they lactose!
