The Planter Newsletter |

Mid-season. It feels like everything is happening all at once in the garden. Spring crops are ready to come out, harvesting is in full swing, the weeds have exploded, watering becomes critical...and even some fall crops need to be started now!

While you're taking a break from gardening (and other tasks!) we hope you'll take a minute to check out what we've been up to lately @Planter--

We've got a feature update to share, a Dream Garden Update vlog from Planter founder Peter Keefe, new Growing Guide articles, and an exciting new podcast episode with Gardener Scott where we talk about his new book, Gardener Scott's Guide to Raised Bed Gardening!

What's Growing On?

Growing Guide Highlights

If you planted a hardneck variety of garlic last fall or late winter, you might have noticed the tops are starting to get curly. These curvy tops are known as scapes. Garlic scapes are sought after by professional and home chefs alike because they are delicious and only available for such a short time period.
