[Announcing: Food Gardening Magazine ‘Editor’s Choices’ for Top Issues!]( [FGN Magazines] Dear Gardener, You’re now privy to our top magazine issues for ensuring that you will be the best food gardener you can be! You probably have impressed your family and friends with your food gardening skills … and maybe even your cooking skills. And with your efficient and productive food garden, you must be driving envy into the hearts of all your neighbors. Well, as with most things in life, you have to keep up to date so you don’t fall behind … to approach your food garden with a “continuous improvement” philosophy, so that you can keep it going. Now comes my very own choices for the top Food Gardening Magazine issues since we started publishing in the summer of 2020—we have more than 3 years and more than 40 issues in our Magazine Library now, and I’ve taken time to choose the 9 best issues for you. As founding editor, I’ve been at it since the beginning, so I know what it has taken to produce all these issues—here are my favorites (which are certain to help boost your skills!) - July 2020 Issue: This issue is very special, because it’s our premier issue—our very first issue! When creating this magazine issue, our team focused on 3 popular foods—tomatoes, basil, and blueberries—and we spent countless hours perfecting every aspect of this issue … and staying true to our mission: Food Gardening Network is the only all-in-one-place online resource for planning, planting, tending, harvesting, and cooking your bounty. In this issue, get everything you need to know about growing and enjoying tomatoes, basil, and blueberries. And like a first-born child, our first magazine issue got lots of time and attention when being developed—it’s a gem! - October 2021 Issue: You can call this our “preservation” issue! And that’s why it’s important to me. I can’t help letting my New-England sensibilities about conserving and not wasting food shine through! In this issue, you learn all about the best vegetables for pickling and preserving. Plus, 3 great ways you can pickle—and, no, it doesn’t have to be difficult or take forever. Try the Quick Countertop Pickles, and you’ll be enjoying the crisp taste in less than 30 minutes! - June 2022 Issue: Learning how to plan and build raised beds for my garden makes this issue a top one! Before getting all these details, I always thought raised-bed gardening wasn’t for me because of the difficulty in building the structures. Nope! Read this issue, and you’ll see what I mean. Plus, featuring eggplant, lettuce, and watermelon—3 food staples for me every summer—makes this issue near and dear to my heart!

If you want to learn a new way of growing fruits and vegetables … or if you already use grow bags and want to ensure you’re following the best techniques … then this issue is for you! And a big bonus for me in this issue: How to Make Your Own Homemade Bug Spray! - September 2022 Issue: For this issue, we cover the “Three Sisters”—corn, beans, and squash. And while they generally are regarded as fall harvest plants, I enjoy these foods all year long—that’s why this issue is so impactful for me. Get growing tips and learn a bit about the history of these “Three Sisters.” Plus, the article on how to harvest fresh herbs in fall to use all winter long is valuable for me, so that I can enjoy my harvest even after the snow sets in! - March 2023 Issue: Officially dubbed “The Dirt Issue,” this magazine issue is critical for any gardener—because all your garden-tending efforts could be in vain if you don’t have good soil to start with! Learn about DIY soil testing methods (complete with video); what to compost and what not to compost; how to compost; and specifics about composting in winter. And our 3 featured foods in this issue are beets, broccoli, and brussels sprouts—all favorites of mine! [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership Special Offer—Just $10 for an Entire Year!
