          As we’re getting close to Spring in most areas of the world, it’s always a good idea to have a cheat sheet for some of the most popular veggies we grow in our urban gardens and farms.  We found this awesome infographic while looking for planting dates for common veggies and thought, “Damn, this is too good not to share with the Epic Gardening community!”

          So here it is.  A few things to keep in mind:

          • The creator of this awesome infographic is Brett James.  He lives in Liverpool, so all the planting dates are going to be for England.
          • This means you should make sure to cross reference these dates with your Plant Hardiness Zone.
          • If you don’t know what your Plant Hardiness Zone is, don’t fear! Find out by clicking here.

          You can find the printable version of this graphic here.

          How to Hand Pollinate Tomatoes in Your Garden

          Tomatoes are among the most popular and exciting vegetables to grow in your garden, but what should you do when your plants are only producing flowers and no fruits? These juicy red (or orange, yellow, or purple) fruits require pollination from wind and bees, or in some cases, humans. If your tomato plants are dropping flowers or failing to produce fruit, you may need to hand-pollinate them to ensure you grow a harvestable yield.
