Store your new bulbs in a cool, dry place like a garage or basement until it’s time for planting in October.

Apples, kiwis, raspberries and gooseberries are ripening this week. Pick them before they go bad!

Master Gardener Ed Buyarski suggests thinning carrots, turnips, beets and radishes so they have room to grow until October. Also, don’t forget to check your garden for drainage problems, and the Juneau Food Festival is August 26.

Harvest Fair runs 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, August 19, at the Juneau Community Garden.

You can marinate porcupine quarters in raspberry wheat beer, or slow cook on the grill with onions and garlic for nine hours.

Master Gardener Ed Buyarski encourages us to plant radish, kale, lettuce, spinach, and other vegetables for the remainder of the summer season.
