Just a week since feasting on Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie and all the inevitable leftovers, we are now at the very outset of December and the upcoming holidays. This is the juncture when we leave one food-centric celebration only to glide seamlessly into a whole new round of potential over-indulgences in the form of bacon-wrapped everything holiday party appetizers, multi-course dinners and other tempting delights. However, if you’re already craving some lighter, healthier options and want to take a break from cooking and complicated meal prep, there’s nothing quite as refreshing and recharging as a “winter” salad. Your local farmers markets remain replete with a range of late fall bounty and will continue to have plenty of freshly harvested produce on hand. So read on for some recipe tips and compelling reasons to serve up a seasonally appropriate salad for dinner this month: Hydration Many raw fruits and vegetables contain high levels of water which is helpful in keeping our bodies well-hydrated during the colder months when we may not feel as thirsty or pay as much attention to drinking enough fluids as we do in the summer. Plus, low humidity levels both indoors and outside in the fall and winter can dry out and irritate one’s eyes and skin and parch the mucous membrane lining the respiratory tract. As a result, the risk of cold, flu and other infections is substantially increased. A diversity of locally grown apples abounds at farmers markets during the late fall and early winter months. There are several reasons why the old saying goes that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” including the fact that apples are one of the most hydrating fruits available this time of year with an 86% water content. Raw apples will add a crisp sweetness and refreshing crunch to many winter salad recipes including this delicious kale, apple and goat cheese medley. Pears are also in season right now and, with an 80-84% water content, they will add hydration and a mildly exotic splash of autumnal flavor to a variety of unique salad recipes: Smoky Seared Pear, Blue Cheese, and Candied Pumpkin Seed Salad Winter Salad with Pears and Pomegranates Nutritional Value The technical definition of a salad is “a cold dish of various mixtures of raw or cooked vegetables, usually seasoned with oil, vinegar, or other dressing.” And what could possibly be more nutrient laden than a variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables forming the basis of one’s meal? Many fall and winter vegetables are brightly hued, telegraphing their rich vitamin and mineral saturation and making it easy to “eat the rainbow” even when there’s frost and snow outside. Plus, vegetables in general are naturally high in fiber which can help lower cholesterol levels and leaves one feeling full and satiated. Large storage radishes reach peak season towards the colder months and boast high amounts of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin C. The candy-pink interiors of watermelon radishes will add a splash of fun color to any winter salad such as this beet radish winter green salad. These root veggies are also a good source of phytochemicals and antioxidants. Carrots of all kinds contain an abundance of beta-carotene and can be added to salads both raw or roasted. This colorful roasted beet and kabocha squash salad can be categorized as winter comfort food without the guilt, but all the goodness. Storage and Longevity Another advantage of winter vegetables is that their natural hardiness to the elements translates to an extended shelf life in your refrigerator. A lot of these vegetables are known as “storage crops” because they can last for months without spoiling within a controlled environment. Root and tuberous vegetables; hard-shelled cucurbits (winter squashes and pumpkins); and some brassicaceous head crops, such as cabbages, are all good examples. This means that you can always keep these vegetables on hand so that they are readily available for easy meal prep and eating healthy all winter long.   Shredded white, green or purple cabbage makes for a seasonally appropriate salad base instead of lettuce during the winter months, as will kale and shaved Brussels sprouts. A head of cabbage stored properly in your crisper drawer will stay fresh for weeks and can be used as the anchor for some deliciously vibrant and nutritious recipes such as these:

Red Cabbage, Kale and Pomegranate Winter Salad

Sweet Crunch Winter Salad

Winter Slaw with Apple and Dried Cranberries

I love greenhouse growing. I do. In the winter, it's one of the only ways to grow things here in New England. But it comes with its own host of problems, and my hands-down least favorite is the green peach aphid.

The green peach aphid is a pest that typically targets peach trees, and other fruits in the same family, however they're opportunistic feeders and will also target beans, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, sweet corn, and cucurbits like cukes and squash.

They're also universal vectors for disease, which means that they can infect just about everything they feed on.

On the left we have some spinach that my coworker cut maybe 20 minutes ago. I just washed it and it looked great. On the right is a leaf of spinach cut from a second bin, from a different area of the greenhouse. Those guys are aphids.

They're voracious feeders that can wipe out an entire crop in just a matter of weeks, so scouting for them and taking action before their numbers build too high is key. The economic threshold (the amount of insects seen on a plant that affect marketability) for spinach is only 4 aphids per plant. When you see that photo up there, the situation seems pretty dire.

But all hope isn't lost. There's lots of ways to control them. Praying mantises eat them, as do ladybugs and some other varieties of beetle, as well as spiders and wasps. So there's lots of stuff that eat them during the season when the weather is nice.

But in the winter, in the greenhouse, we have to use chemical controls. Insecticidal soap is organic (meaning OMRI registered) and washes off easily when we wash spinach. It also has a very short re-entry interval (which is the amount of time that must pass after application before being able to go back into the treated area.) The downside is that the soap must hit the bosldy of the aphid to be effective. Since they live on the underside of the leaves, this can be tricky.

Other insecticides are more effective, but they're also more damaging to other organisms and have longer re-entry intervals. Systemic pesticides, can even amplify the effects of diseases in crops, so you have to decide what you're treating for before you decide to make a move.

Japanese Red Kuri Squash Seeds, Orange Hokkaido Non-GMO, Organic, Heirloom B10 Cucurbita maxima. (90 days) Also known as "Uchiki Kuri", "Baby Red Hubbard" or "Orange Hokkaido". Japanese Red Kuri is bright red teardrop-shaped squash that averages 5-8 pounds. The flesh is dry and sweet with a delicate nutty flavor. Makes excellent soups, desserts, vegetable tarts, cakes, blinis, pancakes, lasagna, risotto, vegetable stews, and gratins. Very prolific and early. Highly sought after by chefs and in markets. A sell-out every time. Perfect for the home gardener due to its small size, but big flavor.

A red-orange Japanese winter squash, fruit is 5-8 lbs each and teardrop-shaped. The golden flesh is smooth, dry, sweet, and rich; a great yielding and keeping variety. This style of squash has been traditionally farmed in the Kanazawa, Japan area. It is said that Saichiro Matsumoto of Kanazawa brought this squash back from Fukushima in northern Japan, in 1933. It is one of the Kaga (old name of Kanazawa) traditional vegetables.

Flashy and tear-drop shaped. Organic Hubbard Squash

Baby red hubbard with appealing color and shape. Flesh is smooth in texture and great for pies and purées because specks of skin (being red) will not show

Count: 10 Matures in 92 days Full Sun Sprouts in 5-10 Days Ideal Temperature: 70-95 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/2-1 inch Plant Spacing: 18-36" Frost Hardy: No Cucurbita maxima

CULTURE: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8 is best. Plastic mulch and fabric row covers (AG-19 grade) can aid plant establishment and exclude insect pests during the seedling stage. Row covers should be removed when plants begin to flower. Poor fruit development may indicate insufficient pollination. TRANSPLANTING: Sow 2–3 seeds per 2" container or plug flat about 3 weeks prior to transplanting. Thin to 1 plant/container or cell with scissors. Harden plants 4–7 days prior to transplanting. After danger of frost has passed, transplant it out according to the spacing recommendations for each variety. Handle seedlings carefully; minimal root disturbance is best. DIRECT SEEDING: Sow 2 seeds at the appropriate spacing interval for the variety's vine length, 1/2–1" deep. Thin to 1 plant per spacing interval after seedlings are established. PLANT SPACING: Bush to short-vine habits generally requires 6' between-row spacing, while long-vine habits require 12' between-row spacing. In-row spacing depends on fruit size and is generally: small, 18–24"; medium, 24–36"; large, 36–48". DISEASES: Common cucurbit diseases include powdery mildew, downy mildew, bacterial wilt, and phytophthora. Avoid problems with adequate soil drainage, good air flow, insect pest control, and crop rotation. If necessary, check with your local Cooperative Extension Service agent for specific control options. INSECT PESTS: Cucumber beetles, squash bugs, and vine borers are all common pests for cucurbits. Protect young plants with floating row cover. Squash bug eggs found on the undersides of leaves may be crushed by hand. For vine borers, cut out of vines and hill soil over the wound. Keep field borders mowed and remove plant refuse in the fall; spring plow to bury pupae. Pyrethrin sprays may offer some control. HARVEST: Fruits are typically ready about 50–55 days after the fruit set and should be harvested before any hard frosts. Cut fruits from vines and handle carefully. Sun cure by exposing fruits for 5–7 days or cure indoors by keeping squash at 80–85°F/27–29°C with good air ventilation. STORAGE: Store at 50–60°F/10–15°C, 50–70% relative humidity, and good ventilation. Repeated exposure to temperatures below 50°F/10°C may cause chilling damage. Hubbards are better after a few weeks in storage and will keep up to 6 months. Red Kuri is the exception in that it is delicious right out of the field, but will only last a maximum of 3 months. DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding; subtract about 14 days if transplanting.

9 Good Reasons to Grow Your Own Seedlings

9 Good Reasons to Grow Your Own Seedlings First-time gardeners often ask, "Do I have to grow my own seedlings, or is it easier to buy them at the market? To which an experienced gardener might reply, "Without a doubt, you should!" This confidence stems from the experience we have gained over the years and the desire to see the best plants on our plots. There's also the fact that the season starts earlier, which makes us even more eager to "dig in". I'll tell you why it's worth growing your own seedlings in this ThumbGarden article.Usually, we grow tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, zucchini, and nutmegs by raising seedlings. The rest of the crops are simply sown in the open. However, onions, herbs, and peas can also be planted as seedlings. Cultivated through seedlings of basil, celery, mint, sumac, parsley, and many other cultures, today there are about 180 of them! The number of these seedlings is very large. It is easier to list those that are not grown through seedlings.Sunflowers, radishes, carrots, beet, and potatoes are usually not grown through seedlings. The usual room conditions are also not particularly suitable for growing cabbage shoots.However, even here there are some artisans. The temperature regime for cabbage seedlings during the day should be within the following parameters: 64 °F (18-20 °C) before germination, 42-50 °F (6-10 °C) from germination to the first leaves, and 46-50 °F (8-10 °C) at night, otherwise, the plants will pull out. Refrigerators can help with this problem by keeping the seedlings in the refrigerator overnight.To prevent the germination of radish seedlings after transplanting to the open ground, seeds of varieties that do not germinate easily should be sown. They are sown in fine mesh boxes or egg cartons and are also kept at 41-50°F (5-10°C).Potatoes are cut into wedges and germinated in the cups. However, do not attempt to grow carrots as seedlings. If the central root is damaged during transplanting, it will produce ugly fruit. And it is impossible not to damage it because it will soon reach the bottom of the pot.Young sunflower shoots can withstand light frosts well, so it makes no sense at all to grow sunflowers through seedlings. So, what makes experienced gardeners start the gardening season by sowing seedlings in winter?

1. Early harvest

The main reason experienced gardeners recommend planting seedlings is the possibility of an earlier harvest. Plants start their growing season indoors when outdoor conditions are not yet suitable, develop to a certain stage, and when the weather warms up, they are transplanted to greenhouses or open fields and start flowering and fruiting in a short time. In this way, they are harvested 2-3 weeks earlier than if they were sown directly in the bed.This factor is especially important in areas with short summers when most crops have little time to mature during the warm summer months. Growing cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, and other vegetables through sprouts not only gives you a "quick" harvest but also extends the growing season of the plants. This means more fruit!

2. Variety

A second very important benefit of having your own seedlings is the ability to grow exactly the varieties you are interested in, rather than those offered by the local seedling market where varieties are usually very scarce. Modern breeding companies and numerous collectors of tomatoes, cucurbits, and various exotic species now offer a variety of familiar vegetable crops and exotic species. And all of these can be grown in your vegetable garden if you sow seedlings.

3. A chance to find your own, better

Experienced gardeners build their crop collections precisely through trial and error, annual trials, and selecting the best varieties. By trying different varieties on their plots, they not only have the opportunity to grow unique products not available on the market but also to find those vegetable varieties and hybrids they like that grow best in specific conditions - in the available soil, in the local climate, with proper care.

Grown in Your Vegetable Garden if You Sow Seedlings

4. Protect valuable varieties

By growing your own seedlings, it is easier to preserve valuable varieties or hybrids that have sparse seeds or do not germinate well in the open air. It is easier to grow plants from very small seeds that require very good soil preparation, watering with a sprayer, and greenhouse conditions.

5. Harvest from a two-year crop

Another major advantage of planting seedlings is that you can get a full two-year crop of plants in the first growing season. These crops include mustard, leeks, thyme, parsley, celery, and a range of flowering crops.

6. Quality of seedlings

The quality of purchased seedlings is often a controversial issue. Many gardeners remember how whiteflies, spider mites, thrips, and nematodes, not to mention various plant diseases, took up residence in their beds along with market-bought tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, or flower seedlings.Not all seedling sellers are self-aware. Inexperienced gardeners may encounter plants with overly dry roots, broken growing points, obvious signs of fungal disease, or even the wrong variety.

7. Cost savings

Seedlings of some crops are quite expensive. This is especially true if you need a large number of plants. By growing these crops yourself, you can get the right amount of planting material at a lower economic cost. In addition, if your goal is high-quality planting material, you can choose to grow in individual pots (cups), observing the necessary agricultural practices, which give the plants a better potential than potless cultivation.

8. Relatively low seed consumption

When sowing some crops in open spaces, it is recommended to increase the seed rate by 5-15%. This is because not all seeds will take off and some will be weaker and more likely to be discarded. By planting our own seedlings, we reduce seed consumption and have the opportunity to get stronger plants by creating the best conditions for their development.

9. Transplanting in the comfort of open spaces

In order to buy seedlings on the market, we need to set aside some time. And the purchase process itself requires not only financial means but also physical strength. You have to admit that going to the market or garden store during mass planting is a very tedious activity. It is not uncommon for us to return home exhausted and put off planting the plants we bought until tomorrow, which may be a week away.Plants with closed root systems are only stressed by changing conditions during storage, while seedlings with open root systems are more stressed, get sick after planting, develop less, and are harvested later.By growing our own seedlings, we are able to grow them at our convenience, saving us the effort of extra travel. We make sure it has been sufficiently hardened. If we transplant from solid plants, we reduce the drying time of the roots and thus get healthier plants. #ThumbGarden #Garden #Gardening #Care #Garden #Germination #Plantcare #Seedlings #Seeds #Sprouting #Tips Author: Ms.Geneva Link: https://www.thumbgarden.com/9-good-reasons-to-grow-your-own-seedlings/ Source: ThumbGarden The copyright belongs to the author.
