		<title>Combination Earth Boxes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a great video from Earthbox about combination boxes. I learned that you can grow sweet peppers and hot peppers together without worrying that your sweet peppers might turn hot. I have always taken great care with separating them, and it&#8217;s good to know I don&#8217;t have to worry about that. Hot peppers and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harvesting green peppers and hot peppers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s getting colder and colder, and I am realizing there will not be time for the sweet peppers to ripen. So I harvested many of them green tonight. Sad to not get to see them get ripe, but I&#8217;d rather have them green than not at all. There is still more to harvest. The hot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Growing Squash in an Earthbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have grown squash in earthboxes for a few years now, and I have not been entirely thrilled with the results. Using the earthbox quidelines of 4 per box, I always got anemic looking plants. They did produce squash, but not as much as I would hope for. This year, I put one plant per [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time to freeze eggplants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The eggplants are now coming on strong. Time to freeze! The way I do that is I cut them in slices, and layer them in single layers with parchment paper between each layer. Once they are frozen, I put them into freezer bags. The same method works great for squash and bell peppers (or any other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broccoli &#8211; lots of broccoli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Broccoli has been thriving this cool and temperate summer. We have been eating lots of it. Now that the heads have all been harvested, the harvesting of side shoots continues, and hopefully those will keep coming for some time still. Delicious!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been harvesting garlic scapes for a few weeks now. Today was the largest harvest to date. Two great reasons: 1: They are very delicious! 2: You will get larger bulbs of garlic come harvest time.]]></description>

		<title>How to transplant tomato seedlings (no sound)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The reason for cutting off most of the branches is that it allows a strong root system to develop, as roots will form all along the buried stem. The reason for digging a long, shallow hole, and laying the seedling sideways is that the soil is warmer at the surface. It might seem counter-intuitive to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asparagus Harvest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We planted this asparagus from crowns, three years ago. The first two years, we did not harvest at all, finally we are getting to enjoy it. The variety is Jersey Giant, and it is super delicious. I highly recommend it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgY8-HKOoJQ]]></description>

		<title>First Earthbox of Spring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, finally, we had a day with no rain (so far anyways, it&#8217;s staring to look like rain might be coming any moment now). So I took the opportunity to plant out 8 lettuce seedlings to this spring&#8217;s first earthbox. Indoors, the pepper and eggplant seedlings were moved from under lights in the garage, but [...]]]></description>
