Asparagus Season Is Here and Local Plant Sale

May 1, 2015 by Jeanne

asparagus

Is it an alien? No, it’s asparagus – asparagus season is here! And to honor one of my favorite veggies, I’ve written a brand-new blog post for Virginia Gardener magazine’s website on Growing Asparagus in Virginia.

You can also catch an earlier post I wrote for Home Garden Joy on How to Grow Asparagus too.

Heart of Virginia Master Gardeners Plant Sale

Saturday, May 2, 2015

Farmville, Virginia Train Station

7 a.m. to 2 p.m or whenever the plants run out

Come on down to shop for this season’s plants! The Heart of Virginia Master Gardener volunteers have grown a delightful assortment of annuals, perennials, herbs and vegetables. We will have a Mother’s Day planting table for the kids so they can make a gift for Mom, a book sales, and more. Master Gardeners will be available to answer your gardening questions.

I’ll be working early in the day and I’ve grown some Brandywine tomatoes and marigolds for the sale. I also cleaned out my house plant collection and will have aloe and various succulents available for sale.

I love the plant sale and there is something for everyone! If you live near Prince Edward County, Virginia, and need some great plants for your garden, please stop by and shop. All purchases go towards HOVMG gardening programs for the public.

American Burnweed, the Weed That Signals Fall Is Here

I was walking my dog along the wood’s edge right near where we cleared land to build our greenhouse when I did a double take. There, like Jack’s magical beanstalk, had grown overnight this gem: American burnweed. Also known as fireweed or American burn weed, it grows rapidly – and I mean, rapidly. Like I…

What Can You Make with Summer Squash?

It’s that time of year when everyon asks, “What can I make with summer squash?”. The time when neighbors sneak bags of summer squash onto porches. When farmer’s markets are brimming with yellow and green squash, zucchini, and all manner of Cucurbitaceae, the plant family that gives, and gives, until it can’t give anymore. If…

Growing Marshmallow Plant

Growing marshmallow plant has been on my gardening to-do list for quite some time. I’ve read about it in herbal books and grown its cousins in the Malvaceae family from seed. The dark purple mallow plant I have thrives in my little garden by the shed, so I thought, “Why not grow marshmallow there?” I…
