Our peppers, like many people we might know, come in sweet and spicy
flavours. Colourful peppers are one of the most nutritious veggies out
there, more so than their green - unripened - counterparts.

foraharvestnextAugust.
SpringsproutingofFall-plantedgarlic
Plant garlic in the fall and harvest next summer! Music and
Legacy are the varieties of garlic we grow as theyre especially
suited for our Canadian growing season.
Each organically-grown clove will grow into a medium sized
head with around 5-7 cloves per head. When cured and stored
properly, garlic will store well for many months after harvesting.
Can be planted in containers,
raised beds, or in-ground.
By Susan Sampson
Go to the backyard, pick, eat it's the ultimate in local food. The Young Urban Farmers, a
trio of business school grads, are on top of the trend. They set up and tend vegetable
gardens in TorontoWilson says the time was ripe for hiring the Young Urban Farmers. "I
had a space set aside for a vegetable garden and every year I said I was going to do it.
Then they came and knocked on my door....I love the idea of having herbs and
vegetables that I can cook with."
By Josh Dehaas
Most urban foodies would love to grow their own organic spinach, but most of us barely
have time to stop at Sobeys on our way home from work. Recognizing Torontonians
collective lack of time (read: laziness), three recent business grads started Young Urban
Farmers, a service that turns clients yards into produce departments...This means that
naughty hosts can claim their organic salad greens are from their own garden, without
ever lifting a spade.
By Chris Atchison
Growing your own food isnt a new idea, but its an idea that strikes a chord with a lot of
people in my age group. They feel its one thing they can do to be more self-reliant and to
learn really valuable skills they take with them wherever they go....Last summer I grew
my own vegetable garden for the #rst time and I found it so rewarding, Ms. Munaretto
says. Being able to nourish myself and do something sustainable is such an easy thing to
do.
