Gardening

We asked the very simple question "What few things are actually making you HAPPY these days?" Some answers were serious, some were simple and some were just funny.

Enjoy locally source food, prepared by local chefs on a very special "take-away meal" evening, put together by Gallatin Valley Farm to School. Perhaps plan a fun night around this "all local" menu.

We reported last month at least two major online seed catalogs had paused all ordering due to overwhelming demand and cumbersome COVID-19 protocols. As of now, those issues seem to be resolved.

My growing collection of plastic take-out boxes brings out the biggest gardening geek in me. You can't recycle clam-shell plastic around here anyway so re-use them in the best possible way!

Wow! Shakespeare, live music, ancient seas, a job fair and farm fresh goods are just some of the event options this weekend. Many are virtual and can be enjoyed safely from home.

Seriously. You can't order your seeds right now due to overwhelming demand and COVID-19 protocols. Two of my favorites sites are currently not taking orders. At all.

Like gardening, free stuff and up-cycling? Then check the Bozeman Craigslist Free Stuff because at the moment there are tons of free pots and just about EVERYTHING you need to build some cold boxes or a small greenhouse.

Alright leaf slackers! You've got one more chance to get rid of your leaves on Saturday with the City of Bozeman. Bring them to the City Shops Complex (with a couple guidelines).

It's not too late for you to get fresh, local produce and products from our fine Montana vendors. The Bozeman Winter Farmer's Market is happening on select dates through December 19th, 2020. YES! There will be 2021 Winter Farmer's Market dates too!

Good weather and more time at home made for a very successful garden this year. Flowers seemed healthier with bigger blooms, fruit trees were bountiful and my veggies were packed with flavor.

It's been an epic year for many of us tomato growers in the Gallatin Valley. Mine have been the best tasting I've ever grown. Harvest is upon us...here's how to make them last longer.

The Livingston Farmer's Market at Miles Band Shell Park is wonderful. It's gorgeous. It's healthy. It's also coming to a close. The last 2020 market is Wednesday, September 16th.
