Summer 2016 Newsletter
Greetings, seasoned and aspiring gardeners, nature-lovers and ecologically minded urban residents!
The summer is well upon us and it is at this time of year that our outdoor activities shift from getting seeds and plants into the ground towards caring for the things we have planted.
Perhaps you find yourself wondering what you should be doing to get the most from your garden, frustrated with weeds in your yard, going on holidays that take you away from your gardening duties, or hoping that it isn’t too late to have the garden you’ve been longing for.

Contrary to popular opinion, Winnipeg’s winters do NOT mean that we need to stop gardening! No sir indeed. Some of the most fun and unique gardens’ time to thrive is during the depths of wintertude’s frigidity. From windowsills to simple fluorescents to high intensity discharge bulbs, we believe that growing anything is possible in the right indoor environment. There’s a chance you may be starving for that garden-fresh basil or wishing you had a hot habanero to pluck from its home. It is easy to lack and miss the greenage that summer gives us, but despair not! Urban Eatin’ can help you get set up with all the equipment and knowledge for producing a lush growing environment in your own home, conforming the gardenspace to any nook or cranny in your kitchen, living room, closet, or basement! We can set you up with the rig to grow anything from a daily dose of fresh lettuce, to wintertime tomatoes!
While all good things must come to an end,
Is it just me, or is it hot out here? The heat of July, combined with its exquisitely timed rain showers, has been an incredible blessing, and welcomed change, on all of our gardens, I’m sure. Warmth-loving tomatoes are exploding, giving us our first red gems by now! This year’s peppers have already dwarfed those of last season, and the all-around vegetative growth of all things squash is a sight to see!
