All the most common questions about growing vegetables in the
prairies are answered in this first installation of the new
gardening series, Guides for the Prairie Gardener. Too often people
think of vegetable gardening in the prairies as challenging, but
certified master gardeners Sheryl and Janet are here to show you
how rewarding it can really be. From planning to planting, they
encourage you to take a hands-on approach with your prairie garden.
They let you know when--and how!--to transplant your carefully
nurtured seedlings in the spring, ways to shelter your plants from
that inevitable July hailstorm, and how to determine how much
irrigation is necessary in the arid prairie climate. They help you
figure out if you should prune your tomatoes, how to hold up your
pumpkins off the ground, and maximizing your harvest by planting in
succession. And they show you how you can directly influence the
quality of your produce, minimizing problems such as woody
radishes, buttoning cauliflower, and split cabbage heads. This
Q&A-style resource covers all your most common questions about
cultivation practices, preventing damage from frost, flood, and
drought, harvest and storage, and they cover your questions about
the veggies you love to grow: Garlic, Onions, and Leeks Lettuce
Brassicas Carrots, Celery, and Beets Legumes, Corn and Other Warm
Season Edibles Tomatoes and Peppers Potatoes Squash, Pumpkins, and
Cucumbers Whether you've just acquired your first garden space, or
you've been growing vegetables for decades, gardeners are always
learning and experimenting, building on the wisdom gained on their
own or from others. With Sheryl and Janet on your team you're that
much closer to achieving success in your prairie garden!
