FGN November 2023

Celebrate spuds!

Celebrate the spud with us! Find out how to store and use potatoes throughout winter.

Mequoda Publishing Network is delighted to celebrate spuds with Food Gardening Network. One of our favorite things about November is the way those delicious, earthy-sweet fall flavors start coming in. Each season brings its own special delights with magical gifts from the earth that not only nourish us, but also give us an exciting palette of flavors. November is no exception!

As we harvest vegetables like carrots, radishes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, kale, Brussels sprouts, onions, and more, it’s helpful to remember that even though garden production is winding down for the season, there’s still a lot to look forward to. There’s a lot we can do now to ensure our garden is in good shape once spring rolls back around. Plus, many of the vegetables and fruits we’re harvesting now are good for keeping in cold storage to enjoy throughout the winter.

Join us for all the exciting details. The November issue of Food Gardening Magazine is dedicated to those wonderful fall crops, with their subtle flavors that fill us with warmth and comfort.

In all, you’ll find five featured articles, one mouth-watering recipe (plus many more in the guides), and explorations of our three featured fruits and vegetables: Garlic, Potatoes, and Cranberries. And, as always, there are some additional delightful recipes in store from the gardening guides highlighted in this issue.

Here are some exciting articles and videos to look forward to in the Potato November Issue of Food Gardening Magazine:
