Martha Stewart and Jon Traunfeld

Our own Jon Traunfeld, from the University of Maryland Extension Service, will be on The Martha Stewart Show Friday (March 27) at 11 a.m. on WBAL Channel 11.

 His topic? Salads tables – a kind of elevated garden for different varieties of greens.Jon Traunfeld

 If you miss the episode with Jon, you can  watch it online.

Jon will be blogging on vegetable gardening because, he said, the economy is making it a huge topic. Homeowners want to grow their own for health reasons, too, and, if they need help getting started, Jon can provide it.

 “Creating your own small food garden in 2009 could be an answer to many of life’s big issues,” he writes in his first post.

His blog is Grow it Eat it, and it will be up and running April 1. You might want to check out the Grow It Eat It Web site, too.

I attended the Grow It Eat It event at the Cockeysville library last Friday. It was very informative and useful. The master gardeners were very friendly and knowledgeable who provided handouts and held demonstrations on how to plant seeds. The attendees were mostly beginning gardeners and all seemed to have learned a great deal. I highly recommend this free event.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
