Even though it's only the first week of March, gardeners across the state are seeing plants of all varieties sprouting. Who better to explain this odd gardening season than our resident Minnesota master gardener, Meg Cowden. Cowden talked with Minnesota Now host Cathy Wurzer. The following is a transcription of the audio heard using the player above, lightly edited for clarityFruit tree buds are swelling out there. I mean, that's like two months early. They don't start to swell usually until early April. These kinds of things are out of our control. Perennials are responding to the temperatures that are obviously warmer and the end the daylight. So things are gonna start waking up, but the good thing is that if we moderate a little and don't go totally crazy, these trees might hold steady.They have started responding, but if our temperatures come back even a little bit, they'll hold. My soil is still freezing. I mean, I checked it this morning, and like, my garlic isn't up, although I know it's up in the city for a lot of gardeners. So it partly depends on your site. But yes, we might have no fruit this year, that could be a reality. I thought about that. If we get a really hard freeze in April — fruit trees can take some frost, you'd be surprised like, depending on the stage of the buds to temperatures, even down to 20 isn't going to be 100 percent kill, it might not even be a 50 percent kill. So that's why I'm saying we have to find a way to kind of take each week as it comes and really see how the season unfolds. I don't consider it a wash by any means.What should we do? Are these poor little perennials toasted this point?If temperatures are gonna get really cold, you could cover them. I'm letting things ride. I'm more curious, what's going to happen to them? Might some of them die? I don't think so. And like, even if we had buds that have like, leaved out a little, those buds might die, but the plant is still alive and the plant has resources to push out new leaves. So even if you get a little bit of leaf damage, I mean, we'd have to be going into like the teens or single digits, I think for things that have leaved out already to really have damage that's going to make us all really fret. I tend to think we're going to be okay. I don't think there's going to be a lot more snow because we have all this ground cover and now we've got the sun and the sun's warming the ground, it's the opposite of last winter. Last winter I was not expecting an early spring because of so much snow cover. I think we're hitting that tipping point where it's going to be hard to get snow.The cold hardy crops, could you maybe experiment and take advantage of this early spring?This is an emphatic yes. We have a new cold frame in our garden that my husband built last year and I started sowing things in it about four weeks ago. And you know, the sun doesn't come back until February, so things aren't really growing until later in February. But they germinated in about three weeks, and that was kind of my optimal ideal time I'd like to have seen them germinate. So I've got arugula that has germinated, head lettuce that germinated and radishes that have germinated. Now, you'd want to check your soil temperatures. I'm a big believer in using your soil temperatures. You want your soils about an inch below to be at least 45 degrees, I use a meat thermometer, nothing fancy. Don't buy an extra gadget, you don't need it. But let your soil temperatures be your guide. I also have sowed some onions outside under one of my low tunnels, but I also sowed some just in a garden bed. So I want to see when each of those will germinate. This is a great opportunity. We have an opportunity here to kind of rethink how we're going to garden and I encourage people to reach for spinach, arugula, kohlrabi and cabbages could maybe work and yes, carrots, maybe like a little warmer peas, mustard greens, salad, turnips, radishes — all kinds of great things.Some of those things you don't really see in the grocery store, right? Maybe they don't travel as well or they're as popular. So there's a great opportunity to kind of explore your palate and play with a little patch of earth right now.You wouldn't recommend doing some cleaning early spring cleaning in the garden?I heard a bee, barely saw it. I saw a few insects over the weekend. It's the temperatures, they're coming out of dormancy. I know. it makes me a little worried, like what the heck are they going to eat? I don't know. Even though we're in early spring, I would still wait until sometime in April to do that. I typically don't cut mine down until sometime in May.

With our first snowfall it may seem odd to talk about gardening. But believe it or not there's plenty of harvesting happening in our next guest's garden.Meg Cowden is back to share all her knowledge with us.

If you visit the farmers market, or even pay attention to what's local at your grocery store — you've probably seen a lot of cucumbers, tomatoes and sweet corn. That's because August is high time for that produce — along with a bunch of other food — to get harvested. Meg Cowden is busy this time of year with her enormous garden. And she's back as usual to give tips for all of us who might have a little less than a green thumb.

I have been obsessed with Meg Cowden and her container gardens for some time. I follow her on Instagram @seedtofork, and there was a drone overhead shot of her yard that I watched ten times. I am heading out on a book tour in my van for a few weeks and will be bringing this book with me and obsessing about my Ely Hilltop Garden improvements for next year. If you are still harvesting, here is a great rice side dish that uses a ton of cherry tomatoes. You can also make this butter tomato sauce that you can freeze in a mason jar. It's apple season, so the Star Tribune featured my Chicken, Wild Rice, and Apple and Pecan recipe in their orchard round-up. It made me hungry for it, so I made it again! Try your hand at the Tarte Tatin apple recipe below that my Mother In Law Dolores has perfected. Tarte TatinIngredients1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour3 tbsp sugar, divided1 tsp kosher salt1 tsp baking powder8 tbsp chilled, unsalted butter, cut into ½-in. cubes, divided2 tbsp cream1 large egg, lightly beatenFour large Honeycrisp apples (1 lb. total), peeled and cored, each cut into 6 wedgesInstructionsPreheat the oven to 375°F. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, the salt, and the baking powder. Add 3 tablespoons butter and the shortening and, using your fingers, rub the fat into the flour mixture to form coarse, pea-size pieces. Add the cream and egg, and stir until just combined. Press the dough together with your hands and refrigerate until firm to the touch, 30–35 minutes.When ready to cook, thickly coat the bottom of a 10-inch heavy ovenproof skillet or tarte Tatin pan with butter. Sprinkle sugar evenly on top.Cut one piece of apple into a thick round disk and place in the center of the skillet to serve as the “button.” Arrange the remaining apple pieces, each one standing on its flat end, in concentric circles around the button. Keep the pieces close together so that they support one another, standing upright. They will look like the petals of a flower.On a floured surface, roll out the pastry about 1/8-inch thick. Place an upside-down bowl or pan on the pastry and use the tip of a sharp knife to cut out a circle about the same size as the top of your skillet. Lift out the circle and drape gently over the apples. Use your hands to tuck the pastry around the apple pieces, hugging them together firmlyTransfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and apples are tender when poked with a knife, 40-45 minutes. (If the edges begin to brown before the fruit is tender, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.)Let cool 5 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a round serving plate by placing another plate over the top and flipping it over.  If any apples remain stuck in the pan, gently use your fingers or a spatula to retrieve them and rearrange on the pastry shell. Cut in wedges and serve warm with heavy cream, crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream. Set the tart aside to cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.Chicken Wild Rice and Apple Pecan SaladIngredientsIngredients for Vinaigrette2 large cloves of garlic micro planed⅓ cup rice vinegar2 Tbsp soy sauce1 Tbsp Dijon mustard1 Tbsp fresh orange juice1 tsp orange zest1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger on a micro plane grater1/4 cup sesame oil1/4 cup olive oil1 tsp kosher table salt1 tsp pepperIngredients for the Salad2 boneless chicken breasts2 cups wild rice4 1/2 cups chicken stock1 cup cubed honey crisp apple2 celery stalks chopped with leaves1 cup scallions chopped1/2 cup red onion chopped1/4 cup chopped Italian Parsley1/2 cup toasted pecansInstructionsPlace all vinaigrette ingredients in a mason jar and shake until emulsified.Place the wild rice in a saucepan or pot. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on top of the rice.Add 1 tsp salt to the chicken rice mixture and cover with 4 1/2 cups broth. Bring the stock to a boil. You'll see some white scummy foam collecting on the surface of the stock as it comes to a boil; it's fine to leave it..Reduce to a simmer, cover, and let the chicken and rice simmer.Cook the chicken for 15 minutes and fish out of the pot and set aside to cool and continue cooking rice for another 30 minutes.Meanwhile, toast pecans in a cast iron skillet over medium, heat until fragrant and brown, and set aside.Cut chicken into 1/2 inch cubesTake the rice off the stove and drain in a colander, and coolIn a large mixing bowl, add apple cubes and toss with vinaigrette.

Dave kicks off today's episode talking garden PESTS. He talks about the challenge of managing pests as a garden centre owner as well as the mystery behind native ladybug sales. This week's guest, Meg Cowden enlightens us, covering the art of succession planting. Find the full episode show notes with links to resources discussed on our website. Thank-you to this week's sponsors, Pineridge Hollow.

Listeners may remember Meg Cowden of SeedtoFork.com from a previous episode on early seed starting.  She's back to talk about succession planting and her new book, Plant Grow Harvest Repeat (Timber Press, 2022).  Meg's book is filled with charts, plant lists, solid advice  and inspiration for any gardener who wants to grow an abundant food and fruit garden, with plenty of flowers as well. We talk about the importance of starting seeds over a longer stretch (always be sowing is Meg's mantra), learning garden lessons from the forests and prairies around us, managing soil health and insects, and ways to get the most from our food gardens through interplanting and other techniques. I also confess my absolute failure growing Brassicas, and Meg offers her secrets to growing huge harvests of broccoli, cabbage and more. Check out Grow it, Minnesota on Facebook or Instagram where I will be giving away a copy of Meg's book.

Meg Cowden just released her first book, Plant Grow Harvest Repeat: Grow a Bounty of Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers by Mastering the Art of Succession Planting, and it is incredible. I highly recommend it for gardeners at any level.In today's episode, Meg teaches us about succession planting and how to think about your garden and it's food production for an entire season.Enjoy

In late winter, we gardeners rev up around sowing those first seeds indoors under lights. But the promise of a bountiful vegetable garden that keeps on giving doesn't end there. Now is also the moment to make succession-sowing plans for the longer haul, too.  A range of the smartest tactics to accomplish that is our topic today with Meg Cowden, author of a new book called “Plant Grow Harvest Repeat.”   Meg Cowden gardens in the Upper Midwest in Zone 4b Minnesota, but that doesn't deter her from eking out an extended harvest of a diversity of edibles that anyone, anywhere would envy. How she accomplished that is the subject of the new book.

Often talked about, and often looked over, succession planting is the best way to smooth out your harvests over the course of the seasons and prevent gardening overwhelm. Meg Cowden comes on this week to chat all things succession. Connect With Meg Cowden: Meg Cowden is the founder of Seed to Fork and the newly launched Modern Garden Guild.

Our fall gardens really can get started as early as spring when we sow seeds that take many months to mature (hello Brussels sprouts), but July and August present even more opportunities to plant crops that will be ready to harvest come September, October and even later. To share her best tips for succession planning and planting for fall, my returning guest this week is Meg Cowden of the Seed to Fork blog.
