Thinning, if it’s vegetables (like thinning carrots) or fruit, is the hardest job for a gardener. Your heart is aching when you pull or pick what looks like a perfectly good veggie or fruit. But as much as it’s painful, even a gardener with the tiniest amount of experience will tell you that thinning is absolutely necessary.

In my post, learn how to thin fruit trees! 🍋🍎🍊 If you grow your own fruit, thinning your trees will help them grow larger and sweeter fruit. It will benefit the tree too and will ensure better production for years to come.

I love growing onions in my garden! I garden in zone 7B, and here in the South, we can plant onions in the Fall. They stay in the ground the whole winter, developing a strong root system, and start growing their tops in early spring. There is a lot more information about growing onions on the blog. Make sure to check it out.

Since I can plant onions in the fall, they save me some work during the busy spring season. Onions are very easy to grow, and they are one of those crops that you can harvest, cure, and put away (in cold storage) for a long time. Let`s dive into how I dehydrate my onions with this step-by-step tutorial!

Have you seen more beautiful carrots? 🥕 Growing carrots takes some practice and knowledge to get right, but once you figure it out, carrots are maybe the most rewarding and fun crop to grow in the home garden. This complete guide to growing carrots will teach you everything that you need to know.

Sometimes we do things in a traditional way because, well, that’s what everyone is doing so it must be the right thing to do. Sometimes it is.

But then sometimes you decide to try a different way, it works, and you ask yourself,
"why in the world did I work so hard all this time, following the traditional method?".

That’s how it is with traditional soil preparation. Why they teach us we should “work” the soil before planting I have no idea. Mr. Soil doesn’t want us to poke around, I assure you. Preparing a garden bed for planting without tilling is so easy! It’s healthier for the soil and it’s much less work for the gardener. And, the plants love it. So really, this garden prep method is a win no matter which way you look.

Beets… Oh beets… If you told me that I could only grow one vegetable in my garden I’d choose beets. I love love love beets! 💜 They aren’t the easiest crop to grow but over the years I more or less perfected my beet-growing skills. It wasn’t easy but it was so worth it.

Beets are so healthy, so filling, so beautiful in the garden… You can eat any part of them, the tops and the root, and they can be stored in many different ways for the long term. For anyone who grows some of their own food, this crop is a must in the garden.

When you grow your own food, when you work so hard to plant, thin, water, and weed, it kinda makes your heart hurt to throw away anything… I don’t know where I got the idea to make carrot top pesto years ago… I just remember that one day I decided that instead of tossing the tops I’m gonna make something with them. I was so surprised with the result! 🥕🥕🥕

Carrot top pesto is super simple to make, very tasty, and behaves much better than basil pesto. It lasts in the refrigerator for a long time, you can freeze it in a mason jar, and it doesn’t oxidize (turns brown) as basil pesto does.
