You'll sip warm tea while Carly shows you how she plans each year's crop, perennial vs. annual foods, what to start indoors vs. outdoors, when to start digging in the dirt, and companion planting basics. Along the way, she'll answer all your food growing questions!

Calendula are a happy daisy, which once planted in the garden will self sow around in joyful abundance (but not in a weedy way)! The flowers can be dried and placed in oil for a lovely balm to soothe dry or irritated skin.
Oopsy Daisy blooms have an unusual bi-coloured flower.
Type: annual
Height: 12-18"
Soil: average soil, quite drought tolerant.
Light: Full sun
Planting: Can be directly sown outdoors after danger of frost or can be started indoors 4 weeks before the last frost. Transplant outdoors after the last frost. Be sure to harden off*.
Care: low maintenance. Deadhead regularly
Bloom time: early summer - hard frost
*Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!

Carly’s Tip: Water soil first, let saturate, then plant seeds. This prevent seeds – especially light, delicate ones not deeply sown – from moving/washing away.

Pet Safe: mints contain some oils which can be toxic to pets if ingested in large quantities

Grow lemons in your home. These amazingly scented mini trees will flower and produce edible lemons year round.
Scientific Name: Citrus × meyeri
Growth: Slow growing. 3-4 feet indoors. If it is really happy it may grow taller
Light: Full sun
Watering: Water well and deeply when top 2 inches of soil is dry. Do not overwater. Ideally they like to be kept moist but not soggy
Pet Safe: No
Care: Intermediate.
Can be moved outside for the summer but bring them back in before it gets cold as they can not withstand any frost.
- Fertilize approx. 3 times between spring and fall with a high nitrogen fertilizer or a slow release all purpose fertilizer. You can also use compost tea or fish emulsion fertilizer.
- Pruning: Is not really necessary but can be done to maintain a shape you like. Only prune once the tree reaches 3 feet. Remove dead, crossing branches or branches that are too long and thin to bear fruit.
Pests: Watch for scale. Citrus is very prone to it. Scale is a small insect that forms a little brown shell on the leaves and stems. You will know you have it if the leaves become glossy and sticky which is the honeydew residue from the insect. Scrap off the scale with your fingernail or for the squeamish, use a scouring pad and a little soap. Hose off in the shower, spray with Carly's FU bug spray and if it comes back change the soil completely.

Nice firm flesh for crunchy pickles.
Type: Annual vegetable.
Height: Grow as a vine up netting or trellis.
Light: Full sun
Soil: Rich soil. Use good quality compost around plants and mulch well.
Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will results in good growth and happy plants.
Planting: Sow seeds directly outside after the soil is warm and there is no danger of frost. Will not germinate in cooler temperatures. Work in lots of good compost. Create mounds or hills and sow 6 to 8 seeds 2 cm deep in each hill. Thin seedling leaving only 3 or 4 plants per hill. Put trellis in place when planting so vines can grow vertically, ensuring straight fruit. Or can be started indoors 3 weeks before the last frost. Harden off* before planting out.
Harvest: 52 days from planting. Sow seeds every few weeks for a continual harvest.

Other tips: Cutting when they are shorter increases yield and offers best flavour.
