Good Organic Gardening Magazine Issue#4.4 Nov-Dec 2013 Edição anterior

Early summer is a busy time in the garden – especially leading up to the holiday season. Christmas is near too so we also have a few great ideas for gifts! Chloe Thomson explains how microgreens can be potted-up as a living present or perhaps you could give some natural skin care products (or even the organic ingredients) – the recipes are on pages 66-67. It’s time to plant kaffir lime and lemongrass – Melissa King explains how - and she discloses all about delicious peaches. Jennifer Stackhouse tells why sunflowers and comfrey are clever crops worth growing and on page 16 find out about the power of licorice. Jo Immig brings expert information on the significant issue of avoiding genetically modified foods – truth or not in labelling? We tell you how to deal with black spot and canker safely and a biodynamic farmer reveals the secrets of good compost. Finally, just in time for Christmas, our chef Simon Bryant brings you festive recipes using cherries, mulberry, radish and passionfruit – which we also tell you how to grow, harvest, store and preserve. Happy holidays – full of fun and cheer from the team at Good Organic Garden magazine.
