Not just a technique, but a philosophy as well, the components of what we now call organic gardening and farming have been practiced for centuries. Practice of good husbandry of the land was of significant importance to ancient writers such as Cato, Virgil, Pliny and Columella. The rotation of crops was recommended by Thomas Tusser in his classic and often reprinted work of 1580, Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry 1864 Report of the U.S. Commissioner of Agriculture

    Extractions: Lynnwood, WA New potatoes with dill, baked potatoes and potato salad are just some of the reasons to grow potatoes. The best reason though, is that you plant those little brown potatoes and then a few months later you begin to dig and find a couple big ones, then a couple more, then a lot more and then a whole lot more. It’s like a treasure hunt. Not to mention the fact that all those large green leaves make your garden look wildly abundant. We carry several types of potatoes. It’s useful to plant a couple different types—one to eat at harvest time and the other type to keep through the winter. Kennebec—This is a popular heirloom potato with large, long tubers that are white-fleshed. It’s a good keeper. Yukon Gold—This is an early season yellow potato with great flavor and an excellent yield. It’s an all-purpose potato that’s especially wonderful baked and has a buttery flavor. Yellow Finn—This is a good potato for baking and mashing. It has yellow-tan skin with yellow meat. It is harvested late in the season and keeps well.

    Extractions: There are a number of things we can do to make soil moisture more available to our summer vegetables. The most obvious step is thorough weeding. Next, we can keep the surface fluffed up with a rotary tiller or hoe during April and May, to break its capillary connection with deeper soil and accelerate the formation of a dry dust mulch. Usually, weeding forces us to do this anyway. Also, if it should rain during summer, we can hoe or rotary till a day or two later and again help a new dust mulch to develop. The air supply in soil limits or allows root growth. Unlike the leaves, roots do not perform photosynthesis, breaking down carbon dioxide gas into atmospheric oxygen and carbon. Yet root cells must breathe oxygen. This is obtained from the air held in spaces between soil particles. Many other soil-dwelling life forms from bacteria to moles compete for this same oxygen. Consequently, soil oxygen levels are lower than in the atmosphere. A slow exchange of gases does occur between soil air and free atmosphere, but deeper in the soil there will inevitably be less oxygen. Different plant species have varying degrees of root tolerance for lack of oxygen, but they all stop growing at some depth. Moisture reserves below the roots' maximum depth beecome relatively inaccessible.

    Extractions: It's hard not to become interested in gardening when living in the Pacific Northwest. Whether you're close enough to the ocean to feel the salt spray, high in the Cascades with a comanding view of nature, east of the Cascades in the lush high-desert, or down in the Willamatte Valley surounded by the tastiest berries in the world, it's hard not to catch the gardening bug. There are probably more gardening books focusing on the Pacific Northwest than any other single region. Here I've picked out some of my faviorites. Top on the list is the Lone Pine series. These compact books are concise, easy to understand, and can be carried with you to your local nursury when buying plants. Don't forget to check-out some of the other gardening and landscaping resources in the Holzemville Community Center (see menu on the left). Many of the topics covered transend the region, and apply to much of the northern United States and much of Canada. Northwest gardeners now have a handy new tools for maintaining and improving their garden throughout the year. The Lone Pine Publishing gardening book series covers everything the ornimental gardener in Washington or Oregon needs to know.

    Extractions: By Brook Elliott Tap on a freshly dug potato and it feels crisp, like an apple right off the tree. Cook that spud up immediately and savor a subtle nuttiness in its tender flesh - almondlike in some varieties, walnutty in others, tantalizing flavors that are quick to fade. So says William Woys Weaver, food historian and heirloom vegetable expert who tended 54 varieties of heirloom potatoes in his Pennsylvania garden last summer "Growing potatoes at home really is lots of fun," Weaver says. His culinary students at Drexel University help out in his garden, and those who have not previously grown potatoes are totally amazed. "It's like digging for gold," he says. And anyone can do it. Potatoes are high-yielding veggies that really are easy to grow and store, and contrary to conventional wisdom, they do not require a lot of land. A pound of seed stock, which takes about 10 feet of planting space in a row, can produce 15 to 25 pounds of delicious tubers. (Weaver's book, Heirloom Vegetable Gardening, has an excellent chapter on growing potatoes. See MOTHER'S Bookshelf, Page 94.)

    Extractions: Jeff Taylor discovers... occasionally tasty, late-season vegetables that are worth the effort. By late summer, all our work has finally paid off. The baby pumpkins twine around the corn, and soon another season of the garden will come to a close, as we harvest our major bounty of corn, tomatoes, and strawberries, and then kick back all winter. When the first frost hits, we'll have less to do than kids in a small town. Our garden will be bare but well mulched or cover cropped against the return of spring in 1995. Until then, we may put the arduous task of gardening completely out of our minds. "Oh, we're not done yet," Joy says, ruthlessly thinning some vegetable.

    http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/92/
    
    Extractions: Company Comment, posted on Dec 10, 2001: Backyard gardeners and market growers have learned from experience that there really is a difference in vegetable varieties. Not only in how they perform, but also in how they taste. If you like to garden, or are thinking about gardening, then Territorial Seed Company's catalogs contain just about all the help you need. Unique to Territorial Seed Company is their 44-acre trial grounds and organic research farm, located in London Springs, Oregon. Each year Territorial's research staff grows and evaluates thousands of varieties. Those available in their catalogs have been grown at their trial grounds and have passed stringent quality requirements. They offer seeds for over 800 vegetable, herb, flower, cover crop, and sprouting varieties. These seeds are not genetically modified or engineered. At Territorial, they pay close attention to how long it takes for vegetables such as corn and cauliflower to be ready for harvest. They seek out varieties that fill openings in days to maturity from a common planting date so that gardeners can be assured of having good tasting fresh-from-the-garden food all season long. Also important to them are cultivars rich in vital nutrients. They also offer a wide range of high-quality vegetable, herb, and flower plants, garlic, potatoes, and garden accessories.

    Extractions: WANTED: Looking for a stable, non-chemical soil-mate interested in a long-term relationship with earthy partner. Non-burning, non-salty. Soluble flash-in-the-pan types need not apply. In the natural state, our soil contains all the nutrients required to grow the plants native to our area. When an old tree falls, its body is consumed by insects, fungus and bacteria, and the nutrients are returned to the soil to nourish the next generation. Over hundreds and thousands of years, the local ecology evolves to a balance of requirements and additions: the flow of nutrients is circular and replenishes itself. The problem starts when we clear the land and plant crops or gardens. The trees are burned or turned into houses, paper or toothpicks, the weeds are carted off to the dump. Then we plant crops, and carry away the harvest. Nothing gets returned to the soil. Add the effects of runoff from soil exposed to the rain and artificial irrigation, and pretty soon the soil has been depleted of its balanced reserve of nutrients. In order for our gardens to thrive, we must feed the soil with what we have taken out.
