Iron deficiency (also called chlorosis) is a common problem for indoor and outdoor plants. It starts with yellowing of the leaves, giving them a veiny look. The good news is that it's easy to treat by adding Iron Chelate to your watering routine, and your plant should green up rather quickly! 🌿
Iron deficiency is easy to spot, but if you're in doubt, diagnose it by using a a soil test kit. You may find that your soil is lacking in iron, or the problem may be caused by:
• ALKALINE SOIL
When soil pH gets above 7, plants are unable to absorb iron effectively. Correcting the soil pH will improve nutrient uptake.
• MINERAL IMBALANCE
Your soil may have too much of some minerals, and not enough of others, which makes the solution a bit more complex. Simply adding iron won’t help unless you correct the overall mineral balance in the soil by adding organic material and compost.

Rhubarb is famous for its delicious tart-flavored stalks, and what’s wonderful about rhubarb is that it’s a perennial! It will produce for many years. It's also deer proof and can serve as an attractive garden 'shrub'. What more could you ask from one plant? 😄🌿
Here’s how to plant, grow, and harvest your own rhubarb:
• Rhubarb gets big! It can grow to 2-3 feet tall and wide. Plant in any corner of the garden where it can grow to full size.
• Rhubarb grows best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade.
• Choose a site with soil that is well-draining.
• Mix compost or anything high in organic matter into the soil. Rhubarb plants are heavy feeders and need this organic matter.
What is your favourite way to enjoy garden-fresh rhubarb? 👩🌾

Spears for years! Asparagus grows beautifully in Manitoba and will supply you with a fresh, nutritious harvest for 20 years or more. Growing asparagus is a great investment that will save you money, and is so delicious compared to the imported, store-bought version! 👩🌾🌿
How do you plant asparagus?
• Asparagus love sandy, clay soil and full sun, which is basically Manitoba!
• As a perennial, once it gets established, the tender spears will poke up out of the ground year after year in early spring.
• As a bonus, its ferny top foliage makes an excellent ornamental plant and looks great in bouquets.
• Plant asparagus 12 inches apart in rows. The plants will spread over the years and fill in the rows.
• To harvest, simply snap the spears off when they reach 6-8 inches in height!
