🎙️Episode: Are You Growing the Dirty Dozen
Backyard Gardens Podcast
We grow gardens for healthy food, to save money and to eat the food we enjoy.

The Dirty Dozen list highlights fruits and veggies that tend to carry the most pesticide residue when commercially grown. And many of them are our favorites.

In this episode, we talk about why they are on the “dirty” list and whether it’s worth prioritizing space for them in our gardens.

Hey good people, Batavia here! These carrots grew in a raised bed sitting right on top of concrete. About 10 inches of soil, that's it, that's all (well I did fertlize, mulch and thin earlier in the season :-).

Hey good people, Batavia here! Mustards were directly sown in an X-shape, and insect netting is being used to protect the plants from cabbage worms. Even with limited time, the transplanted kale plants are expected to produce small leaves And I have some plants in other parts of the garden that have put on some nice size.

Hey good people, Batavia here. The first group of lettuce transplants were moved outside too early and some bolted due to warm weather we had in August/September.

But really, daylight matters more than the actual frost date. The cool-weather plants I'm growing can survive a frost, but extended freezing temps can be trouble for some.
