This year’s vegetable gardening season is about over. The frosts have come and the garden is empty, except for a few things like carrots and leeks, which can be left in the ground and harvested as long as you want. But if you had planned ahead, you could still be growing a lot of vegetables. […]

Maine Gardener: Writer may plant new ideas in your yard

The traditional beer served at Oktoberfest is Marzen, which can be spelled Maerzen, which actually means “March beer.” So, you might wonder, why is March beer served at beer bashes in October?
