So, we&#8217;ll make up for it with an extra special flower from our gardens this week! We discovered Honeywort back in 2021 in an attempt to bring in more varieties of nectar producing flowers into [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;ve been trialing corn in the subarctic for about five years now and this may be our best season yet! We&#8217;re into our second year trials of the Quick Start variety.

Most fruiting plants, including tomatoes, require a process called pollination to occur in order to produce a fruit. The short story is that the plants have male bits and female [&#8230;]]]></description>

When you run one the largest far north gardening blogs, and a &#8220;minor software update&#8221; throws a major technical problem, let&#8217;s just say that becomes a major priority!

First off, some plants require pollination to set fruit. We talked about tomatoes and peppers the other day, those are super simple to pollinate by hand. But, some [&#8230;]]]></description>

Tomatoes are monoecious, meaning that each plant has the male and female flowers on every plant. What&#8217;s unique about tomatoes is that the male and female bits are located on each and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Continuing our corn production series! Since many of us northerners really haven&#8217;t bothered with corn in the past, due to low/no production, we&#8217;re drilling home the important points on how this plant actually produces corn! As we mentioned, the situation with northern production has definitely changed with modern genetics like this Cafe variety. This is [&#8230;]]]></description>

As northern growers, corn isn&#8217;t exactly the staple crop we all think of when it comes to northern growing. The gist is that certain types of corn have always performed to [&#8230;]]]></description>

Our plants have started to pack on those flowers, so we&#8217;re nearing summer squash season! A key thing to understand about squash is that most of them are what are called monoecious.

It then becomes a goal to bring in those pollinators into your garden! There&#8217;s lots of ways to get there, but our hands down northern favorite and &#8220;biggest&#8221; pollinator magnet has been wild raspberries. Starting now and increasing steadily [&#8230;]]]></description>
