Sweet corn is rich in flavor, nutrients

The availability of that mouthwatering, succulent, buttery taste of sweet corn is a common delight in the late summer activities that surround most of us. You can get it at the local farmer’s market, in the stores, via roadside stands, at county and state fairs and even in your own garden. It is one of those wonderful vegetables that is easy to grow and always rewards us with ears of corn too numerous to eat all at once.

Hydrangeas impressive in garden setting

There are some flowering plants that seem to have been around forever. Plants such as the roses, lilacs, lilies, petunias, peonies, snapdragons and hydran-gea seem to stand out for me the most. It is the hydrangea plant that always puts me in awe with its enormous heads of creamy white flowers that seem to bloom in either shade or sun. Just like the lilacs, when these plants are in bloom, they take notice in the garden and become quite the focal point.

State asks gardeners to help feed the hungry

North Dakota is calling on its gardeners to spare some of their yield this summer — preferably half a million pounds of it. The state has kicked off an ambitious drive to whisk locally grown produce to food pantry shelves, where non-perishables still hold sway. Church groups, community gardens, novice growers and entire communities have pledged to pitch in.

Healthy grass can sprout weed-free lawns

To keep a healthy lawn, give it some fertilizer. There are several excellent commercial fertilizers out there. You do not need much. It is good to apply the fertilizer on the holiday schedule. In other words, apply the fertilizer around Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Before the snow starts to fly in October, put on a slow-release fertilizer so your lawn will take off in the early spring (when we have enough heat units).

Tips on keeping deer from the fruits of your labor

I’ll never be mistaken for a master gardener, and it really doesn’t bother me. Beyond borrowing the neighbor’s tiller and breaking up the ground each spring, I lose interest in the garden even before the first spuds are planted.

Grow herbs at home or in garden

Add a touch of spring to your home all year long. Consider growing some herbs in your home, a container or garden outside. Growing herbs can be a fun project for kids and may encourage them to try some different foods, too. Soon you’ll be adding extra flavor to your recipes without extra calories or sodium. Compared with the cost of fresh herbs available in some grocery stores, you will have a ready supply at a fraction of the cost. Which herbs should I choose?
