"A Visit to Crabtree Farms"

On this show I took a trip to Crabtree Farms in Chattanooga, TN. Today more and more people are turning to locally grown produce for their food purchases. Not only does it help your area’s economy, but you also get wonderful fresh produce as well.Crabtree Farms is a non profit research and educational project promoting sustainable agriculture through their many programs. I had so much fun touring the farm and meeting some of the many people who sustain it and who make it all possible.

If you would like to learn more about Crabtree Farms please visit their website at www.crabtreefarms.org. I am sure they would love for you to come and visit. They are open from May through November. If you are unable to come here to Chattanooga be sure and search for a CSA program in your area. It's so important to support locally grown produce in your area!

"Getting Ready for Spring Planting"

2

Winter is here and there's not much to do outside in the freezing weather. So that means it's time to stay indoors and start planning for the spring. At this time of year I always get an abundance of seed catalogs. I love going through them all and dreaming of the things I will plant and maybe the possibility of trying something new in the garden. On this show, we will go step by step in ordering our seeds or plants for spring. I will also show you how to create your very own gardening journal to keep up with and catalog all of your lovely plants. I'll also show you how to start your seeds indoors to create those little seedlings that grow into gorgeous big vegetables and flowers.I even have a great little gift idea to make to put in your spring Easter baskets! Even though we have to stay inside while the weather is so cold, we can still start making plans for warmer weather and spring planting!
