"If gardeners will forget a little the phrase, "watering the plants" and think of watering as a matter of "watering the earth" under the plants, keeping up its moisture content and gauging its need, the garden will get on very well."

Henry Beston

The following tables list varieties that are well-suited for our region and the best time to plant them. Many gardeners in the club vary these dates slightly based on factors like weather conditions and moon phases.
