What to do in the Edible Garden in January
Make a Garden Plan
· Draw out a map of your garden beds
· Write down what was planted in last year and practice crop rotation.
Organize Seeds
· Make a list of your seeds on hand.

· Note the date purchased or grown on each packet of seeds when you buy them. If in doubt about germination, do a germination test by either planting seeds in a tray of soil or by placing a few seeds in a wet paper towel to see how many seeds sprout.
· Make a list of seeds you need for this planting season and varieties you would like to try.
- Collect this years seed catalogs (See below for listing of BC Seed Companies)
- Collect this years seed catalogs (See below for listing of BC Seed Companies)
Mulch Gardens
· This is the season to gather seaweed and layer on top of your garden beds or add to your compost. Respect the ocean by giving thanks and only taking what you need.
- Add coffee grinds, leaves or cardboard to keep the winter rains off the soil.
Chit Potatoes
It's time to chit your potatoes.
Chitting just means getting the potatoes to produce stubby eyes before planting. The best size of potatoes to chit are the size of an egg. Place potatoes in egg cartons out of direct sunlight for a few weeks. Bill Herring plants his first potatoes at the end of February.

What's Happening in Cliff Stainsby's Garden
January 2014
Cliff Stainsby grows his winter crops under Remay Cloth in the greenhouse. Cliff says the Remay makes a 4 degree difference protecting his winter crops when the temperature drops.
New lettuce seedlings where started indoors and just recently transferred to the greenhouse for an early harvest.
Other crops just planted in the greenhouse include Peas, Potatoes and soon Carrots. This planting system allows an early harvest before the outside garden is producing.
Cliff saves half of the greenhouse for the summer hot lovers like Tomatoes, Eggplant, Peppers and Basil. The other half he crop rotates with his winter crops.
Outside in the garden, Cliff is top dressing the beds with composted manure except for the root crop beds.
January 2014
If you want to "Eat what you Grow," then you've got to have a greenhouse or poly tunnels in this climate.
Very little is growing outside at this time of the year, but in the greenhouse Cilantro and Radish are germinating. There is Arugula, Swiss Chard, Parsley, Kale and Rosemary growing in the greenhouse at this time of the year.
Overwintering carrots in the soil this year has worked really well, but now that I can see some insect damage I will pull them up, wash them and store them in the refrigerator.
They say "This has been the driest winter in 100 years" which may mean that it could be the wettest spring. You may want to consider building poly tunnels or a cold frame.
Onion sets
(those miniature onions you buy for spring planting) are sown thickly so they
stay small, then cured like storage onions and kept for planting the following
spring. I used to grow my own sets many years ago, but stopped when sets became
readily available in nurseries. Now I find that prices for commercial sets are
high, selection is limited, they are not organically grown and there is always
the risk of importing Allium diseases (particularly the dreaded white
rot). If you want to try this yourself, get seed for onion cultivars noted for
long storage and good keeping ability. Sow mid- to late May (not earlier), to
give sets some exposure to long days/short nights so they make a tiny bulb. Sow
densely in a very small bed, 1-2 seeds per square centimetre and don't
fertilize with compost or high nitrogen amendments (e.g., alfalfa or blood
meal) this year. The aim is to keep the bulbs tiny (under 1 cm/1/2 inch
diameter) because larger sets readily bolt to seed. I would expect the tiny
onions to be bulbed up enough to pull and cure in August, but I am not sure of
this timing since I haven't tried growing them in this climate.

WINTER FOOD
My Sunflower Sprout Garden
My Sunflower Sprout Garden
By Patricia
I am so excited that I finally found an easy solution to grow my favourite sunflower sprouts. Unlike most other sprouts, sunflower sprouts require soil to grow in. I have tried growing them in larger box containers but they became unruly. The answer seemed to be to use small pots of just a tbsp. of seeds at a time. Setting up several pots, allows for growing batches in succession. Find a nice window to grow them in - the kitchen is the best spot.
You can use your windowsill, or install window shelves. I finally found a use for that front basket from the BBQ - turns out it is exactly the right size to fit in my kitchen window; secured with just 4 screw hooks, it not only looks acceptable, but is perfect for 4" pots.
How to grow Sunflower Sprouts
1. Find a window that will provide enough space for several 4" clay pots.
2. Soak 1 tbsp. of organic sunflower seeds overnight in 1" of water.
3. Fill one 4" pot 3/4 full with organic indoor potting soil. Pour the soaking seeds out into the soil and spread out evening on the dirt. Add about 1/2" more soil on top of the seeds and tamp down well with your fingers.
6. Place in window. Water once a day.
8. When tall and the seed pods fall off, it is time to harvest your sprouts. Cut at the base of the stems.
Start a new batch of seeds every other day to have a succession of seedlings, and a constant source of sunflower sprouts. Enjoy on salads, or straight up.
Bon Appetit!

Composting Tip:
Wood Ashes, what to do with them?
Winter is the time of year we collect ashes, but what do we do with them? Do we add them to the compost pile? Do we apply a light dusting on the soil? Do we store them for the next growing season?
· A cord of firewood can produce up to 50 pounds of ash depending on the wood. Hardwoods produce 3 times as much ash, and more nutrients than softwoods.
· When wood burns, nitrogen and sulfur are lost as gases but Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium and trace elements remain.
· Wood
ash is a valuable liming agent, raising pH, thus neutralizing acid
soils, therefore acid loving plants like blueberries, cranberries and
strawberries will not benefit from the addition of wood ash. However, wood ash is especially good for breaking down pine needles, oak leaves or wood chips
· The best time to apply wood ash is in the Spring when the soil is dry, because of its fine particle size, it reacts rapidly. The average ash (N-P-K) is 0-1-3 (One reference did suggest adding it in the fall.)
· Wood
ashes are best stored in a fire-proof container, until they can be
moved to another bucket to keep for the next growing season.
· Wood ashes can be added to the compost pile in layers. Never
leave wood ash in lumps or piles because concentrated wood ash causes
excessive salt build-up in the soil through leaching and can be harmful
to plants nearby.
· For most garden soils, 20 lbs of wood ash (about a 5 gallon bucket) per 1000 sq.ft., can be applied safely each year. That equals about 6 pounds of ground limestone applied to the same area.
· Wood ash can repel slugs and snails because it draws water out of these invertebrates. Sprinkle around plants, but once it gets wet, it loses it deterring properties. Too much ash can alter pH levels in soil. Use carefully.
· Wood
ash can be added to the hole when planting tomatoes, ¼ cup in the hole
pumps up these calcium loving plants and adds potassium (7 – 8%)
· Wood ash controls pond algae. 1
Tablespoon per 1000 gallons adds enough potassium to strengthen other
aquatic plants that compete with algae, slowing its growth.
· Wood ash can be used on fruit trees and root crops
Cautions:
· Do not use ash from burning trash, cardboard, coal or pressure treated painted or stained wood, to many toxins exist.
· Do not scatter on windy days.
· Do not mix with nitrogen fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrates or urea. These fertilizers lose their nitrogen as ammonia gas when mixed with high pH materials such as wood ash. Leave a month’s time between application of each.

What's Happening in Bill Herring's Garden
What's Happening in Bill Herring's Garden

| Bill Herring teaching in his Garden |
January 2014
This month Bill Herring is mulching his gooseberries, raspberries and gardening beds with well rotted manure. Bill says, "As I get older, I'm moving away from digging in the manure and laying it on top and letting the worms do the work."
Bill is also cleaning up the dead leaves around his brassicas to discourage insects and removing weeds from the garden beds.
Potatoes are now chitting for end of February planting.
In the greenhouse, Bill has planted broad beans and peas in pots. When the plants are around 2 " high, he will move them outside to be hardened off then planted into the garden.
Bill says, "The earlier you can get your plants growing in the garden the better off they are because their roots will dive deeper into the soil accessing underground water.

Gardening Advice from Linda Gilkeson
My
favourite activity this time of year is reading seed catalogues, choosing new
things to try, sorting my seed collection and dreaming of the best garden yet.
One new thing I want to try this year is growing my own onion sets.
Still a few spaces left! in both of my Year Round
Harvest courses at the Horticulture Centre of the Pacific. Classes are held
Sunday afternoons, once a month from January to October and there are two
courses running this year. For more information, see: http://hcp.ca/events-functions/year-round-harvest/
and to register, call HCP: 250-479-6162. Note: the dates shown on the web site are for
the first course; the HCP office will provide the schedule for the additional
course.
2014 is booked solid so check my speaking schedule for
talks, workshops and gardening classes in your area: www.lindagilkeson.ca And of course, all of my books are in stock again for the
new gardening year--just waiting for your order!
