Winter garden planning can ease decision making pressure in spring. We have such a short growing season already in Central Oregon compared to many regions of the world. Let yourself mull over a final design layout for your new garden space, or compare seed varieties you’d like to grow in your garden in this new year. Winter planning lets you align your garden with your goals, and have a guide for continuous production all season long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/dab2fd46-74f9-4807-9835-14b0aa918453/impulse+buying+plant+starts Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How can I garden in winter? - Winter crop planning can help you avoid impulse buying. Make a crop plan! Seed catalogs, seed racks, and flowering and fruiting plant starts are tempting in every season, but planning first helps you buy with purpose. When you’ve thought through how much space you have, what your sunlight is like in different spots, and what you actually enjoy growing and eating, you’re less likely to over buy or plant varieties that don’t suit your garden (or our climate, even though they are being sold in Central Oregon). You’ll already know when to plant the right plants at the right time, especially if you plan ahead and make sure you have your season extension tools ready to help warm up your soil earlier and protect plants from cold spells once they’re in the ground. This readiness can mean earlier harvests, healthier plants, a smoother start overall, and less impulse buying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/e846878f-a320-4397-a8d6-c10b6f83ce69/IMG_9167.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How can I garden in winter? - Winter planning gives us something to hope for. We find most gardeners feel tremendous comfort planning a garden when the world outside feels cold, dark, and quiet. Sure, we’re all aiming to live in the present, however, dreaming of spring growth, and fresh food offers connection to the future in a hopeful way. It’s a reminder that seasons change and that you’re actively preparing for brighter, greener days ahead. Sometimes, planning is its own kind of nourishment, even before your garden comes (back) to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1767830235940-O14RECTTZO749U79J6O9/IMG_4508.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How can I garden in winter? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1767830346546-E5BYH8CWBBE61T94PRWC/IMG_2288.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How can I garden in winter? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1767830389962-2UHCIMF8GCCYN4RDXWL8/IMG_0736.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How can I garden in winter? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1767830448775-O9MQHF6549U1PVY37PGN/IMG_0699.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How can I garden in winter? https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/spicy-black-bean-soup monthly 0.5 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/a9a2b91f-8ce1-43dd-8fb8-9a2124c2bf7d/IMG_6852.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Spicy Black Bean Soup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/81272632-ce2b-46b4-b0ef-00b579360dfe/IMG_1765.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Spicy Black Bean Soup - Ingredients: (1) 29 oz can undrained black beans, or even more digestible 3-4 cups Spicy Black Beans from local runner and author Elyse Kopecky’s Run Fast, Eat Slow cookbook 1 jar (roughly 16 oz) mild salsa verde or 3 1/2 cups homemade 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 large or 1 small onion, diced 3 garlic cloves, minced 1-2 carrots, diced 1 jalapeno pepper, diced or sliced (or more if you’d like more spice/ less if you’re feeding sensitive palates.

Instructions: Warm the oil. Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add your oil and spices. Let them simmer and bloom for about 30 seconds — this helps release their medicine. Add the greens. Pile them in, even if it seems like too much — they’ll cook down. Stir gently as they wilt, adding more greens as space opens up. Splash and simmer. When the greens start to soften and deepen in color, add your tamari. Let everything cook together for another 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and make it cheesy. Take the skillet off the heat and stir in your nutritional yeast. Start small and taste as you go — the more you add, the cheesier it gets. Adjust salt or spice if needed. Serve it up. Spoon it warm over rice, toast, in a wrap or with roasted veggies. Or just eat straight from the skillet. https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/5-reasons-to-grow-microgreens-especially-if-you-think-you-dont-have-a-green-thumb monthly 0.5 2025-11-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/81bf3327-4d1c-4be7-a9e5-62642241793a/IMG_0226.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What is all the excitement around microgreens about? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/61d4f91c-20e9-4926-93af-03c6353339ec/sprouting+microgreens Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What is all the excitement around microgreens about? - If you’ve ever wished gardening came with a fast-forward button, microgreens are it! Most varieties go from seed to harvest in 7–14 days, so you get almost instant results. And the bonus? Watching seeds sprout indoors is shockingly calming and gratifying. There’s something deeply satisfying about checking on your tray(s) and spotting those first little bits of green life uncurling, especially as snow falls outside your window! A tiny daily ritual of growth and progress is a mood booster no matter the season, but especially during the darker days of late fall and winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1afe92c3-e8c7-456b-9a59-3e2a082869b8/IMG_9153.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What is all the excitement around microgreens about? - Make it stand out BUG gardeners brighten up a dark winter morning with bold flavor! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/21a2d8a8-a644-4626-9bee-11d6d8a5784e/windowsill+microgreen+tray Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What is all the excitement around microgreens about? - 5. The Perfect Project for “I Don’t Have a Green Thumb” Gardeners Microgreens are incredibly forgiving, which makes them ideal for beginners or anyone who’s convinced they kill every plant they touch. They grow fast and don’t require complicated care. Even gardening newcomers often find themselves thinking: “Wait… did I just successfully grow something?!” Yes. Yes you did. And if the first round doesn’t go as well as you’d hoped (most likely because you over watered), with BUG’s microgreen growing kits, you’ve got enough seed for another try before needing to re-supply!

Spinach, mache, and/or claytonia seed. If the soil temperature is still warm enough at a minimum of 45-50 degrees for them to germinate, they’ll likely sprout and then go dormant through winter. They should start growing again once the days get longer in February. https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/greenhouseredesign monthly 0.5 2025-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739496244017-CUVSRBLKCZTLCNPWNTUO/IMG_9144.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739496275709-R4RN1VHF45T1ZQ5GID0H/IMG_1009.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739496312082-11S2QO3EHF2P37ADYQTL/082521+Bend+Urban+Gardens-2.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739496344790-7P7N3MVL6Y5H8FYVOSEP/IMG_0502.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553232687-3Z2SE3CGEISS40GXSGP6/IMG_1555.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553273618-NXE5RVWNM9K28AY3BWQV/IMG_0745.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553355351-VQ35GIXH2BSV14THNXB1/IMG_2910.png Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553405473-EY67MDS839IYQPBCBLKA/IMG_2911.png Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553578077-HP1P4LWAYLJ4ZLYRCO5S/IMG_2949.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553966977-F3H6K0EMMOSO4CXFZNFJ/IMG_2970+%281%29.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553842695-Q7A4CYKQRAF14Z3D76TQ/IMG_2982.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553870787-ID6LNM3Q0C119YX7FYP0/IMG_2990.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553911103-JNY22Q2JGQH3EXY2WLQ9/IMG_2994.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739553912023-L0N8DY3AKGJBGUJ8OAJ5/IMG_3109.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739554265437-7DXAYK7ZGDG8SHVPTNG0/IMG_3196.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739554459202-ELEOG2F6CCBR3M1SRI3P/IMG_3111.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739554805192-95QLEUM9LBW5ZTB09R7L/IMG_0344.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739554840050-V01UX3FI0O9P02RJTDYS/IMG_1692.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1739554873906-O0ORYLO6350U9G3F43OZ/IMG_3230.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Our solar greenhouse redesign https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/aphids monthly 0.5 2025-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1723820822818-3VNY565GPXTJVNR9EVOE/IMG_7781.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do about aphids in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1723820843290-P9RO0E4VNRS03M0N380G/IMG_2989.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do about aphids in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1723820860151-JGNO21B8ANIPEV6W78UJ/IMG_2896.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do about aphids in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/8056164d-99bb-4dcb-980e-fab0825d91b0/IMG_1347+%281%29.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do about aphids in my garden? - Where to look for them: Look for clumps of aphids on the tops and undersides of leaves, stems, and tender new growth of plants. Look for curled, discolored, and/or distorted leaves and if it’s a pretty intense infestation, there may be glossy, sticky “honeydew” on leaves. If you see aphid “mummies”(aphids with holes in them), aphidius wasps, natural predators, are helping you out! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/b1c25485-88a5-4dab-a138-5f6675bd6f5a/IMG_3113.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do about aphids in my garden? - If aphids persist after exhausting these strategies, we typically opt to pull plants completely and replant by direct sowing or transplanting healthy, seasonally appropriate plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/b7f8d2c6-cc33-4905-8c92-11210f1555ad/ladybugs.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do about aphids in my garden? If you’re determined to keep intervening, though, you could try: Releasing ladybugs, or even better for our native ladybug population, releasing green lacewings. Just know that there’s no guarantee they’ll stay where you want them to in your garden, even if you have an abidance of aphids! Spray neem oil in the morning or evening, following package Instructions. Dust susceptible plants with Diatomaceous Earth (pulverized fossilized ancient diatom creatures).

Each emitter lets out the same amount of water no matter where it is located on the line. When using drip irrigation, you know how much water is being applied to your garden, which is helpful for the health of your plants and for minimizing the variables to consider when problem solving garden challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/17d61f8b-7759-450d-958d-dceb8ba15ecd/IMG_7599.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How should I water my veggie garden? - In larger gardens, or for gardeners who mostly grow crops directly from seed, adjustable microsprayers, even though not as water efficient as in-line drip irrigation, can be really helpful for broadcasting water over the entire soil surface. This eliminates the need to drag a hose around the garden and hand water to promote good seed germination for those seeds that aren’t sown directly next to emitters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1690929811078-SDOU6XHJBLTKD2PIVDAO/IMG_2486.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How should I water my veggie garden?

- August sown spinach typically reaches maturity in Central Oregon before it gets too dark and cold for the plants to put on much more growth by November. We’re able to eat off of it until then. The leaves that aren’t harvested just hang out on our plants through winter. With the protection of our row cover/frost cloth, cold frames and mini hoophouses, we enjoy spinach harvests throughout winter, harvesting on sunny days when the plants have a chance to thaw out instead of harvesting frozen, mushy leaves. Our plants then hang out until they start getting enough daylight to continue growing again in late winter. Don’t worry about watering your spinach plants over winter while they are dormant. Get out your watering can or garden hose (disconnect it from your hose bib after using it) and give your plants a little drink once the soil starts thawing in the late winter/early spring. You’ll know when it’s time as the soil will be dry down at their root zone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1725311542271-5EKS0XAFZIDQ3TFWQJA6/IMG_8466.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1725311056690-FUBGSTV5BPYERRJ174Z8/IMG_9842.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1725311395914-AEA28IBMYOYUF0TPBALA/IMG_9568.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1725311397589-FRS15YUM0QMGI3PR1J9G/IMG_9569.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1725311040032-MABZJLSONZY0N9BZSP5H/IMG_0671.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1679795715491-YM7PXNKQC3A778ZK7SQU/IMG_1550.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1679795728194-Q1GS414RTFZK7GP8DXI7/IMG_1803.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1679801124129-UB3C2M3K23TMGJSF4FVQ/IMG_1024.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I prioritize planting spinach in my garden? - To harvest spinach, use a paring knife or kitchen scissors to cut the spinach leaves at the base of the plant, leaving 2-3 smaller young leaves to keep growing, allowing for additional harvests from the same plants. Expect to get one to three cuttings off of one sowing of spinach seeds. After harvesting, dunk the leaves in cool water. We use our salad spinner, draining and rinsing a few times to remove any soil or debris. If we aren’t able to eat our harvest right away, we store it in the fridge.

Season Extension Tools While we don’t have an official last frost date in Central Oregon, since we can get frost any day of the year, using a mini hoophouse to warm up your soil in the spring often means that plantings of cold hardy crops can go in around April 15th, when the soil temperature is typically consistently 45 degrees (use a soil thermometer). This can make all the difference in allowing you to plant a succession of leafy greens, for example, before you get your cold sensitive plants in the same location in June. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1678377608485-Y3XI65VAUI3F65G2NW3P/IMG_1152.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do to get ready for spring veggie gardening? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1678377630943-JYVE9M7DCS0GYW7RRZ02/IMG_1975.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I do to get ready for spring veggie gardening? https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/deer monthly 0.5 2023-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/af42e6f1-42d1-46d9-a6a5-99e861827d8b/IMG_8704.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How do I protect my garden from deer? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/554ccff6-bec2-4bd6-86e5-7d8cc6a7caf0/Deer+fencing Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How do I protect my garden from deer? - The best way to keep deer out of your garden is to put up perimeter fencing. Using plants to create dense hedges might look nicer than a fence, but, unfortunately, they aren’t always as effective because deer often find ways to sneak through. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/6c1e5be9-347b-4b0c-90f8-413844d64f43/IMG_2482.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How do I protect my garden from deer? - If fencing your space just isn’t feasible, consider our mini hoophouse design with a layer of durable netting to keep deer out of your raised beds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/f5ad6712-6099-46e9-8c59-b0e600b288f6/IMG_1852.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How do I protect my garden from deer? - Our hinged pest protector covers are also a great option for protecting low growing plants. https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/compost monthly 0.5 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/faff14fb-3832-4b48-855a-4670c24445ac/IMG_9943.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I compost?

How? - Enclosed bins: These are a great solution for more dense neighborhoods, those worried about potentially attracting unwanted critters, and for those looking for a tidier compost situation. The bins don’t tend to be as large as an open composting system, but can reasonably handle both yard debris and kitchen scraps. We recommend enclosed bins that have more than one compartment so that you can flip flop which compartment you add to and which compartment you are allowing to fully break down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/aea1c16c-fc02-479e-871b-a2572d499aca/IMG_4427.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I compost? How? - Yard debris bin: Maybe you’ve decided that you aren’t yet ready to compost on- site, or the idea of a decomposing pile isn’t something your household is ready for, but you want to be part of the solution for keeping more food waste out of the landfill. While it still takes fossil fuels to move unwanted waste off your property, putting your yard debris and food scraps into the yard debris bin is a way to keep organic waste out of the landfill. Plus, you can put dairy and meat waste in it, too! Downside: it can be stinky, especially in the summer, as it gets picked up every other week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1670438220234-IYMIGUCGLWNCJNV58ZEK/IMG_4420.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Should I compost?

How? - Compost alternatives: Live in an apartment or have super limited space? Machines like the Vitamix Foodcycler basically dehydrate and pulverize food scraps, reducing their volume. You can use the resulting material as a soil amendment, but just know that it won’t have the beneficial microorganisms for your garden that the other composting methods we’ve highlighted have. https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/fillingraisedbeds monthly 0.5 2022-10-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/897e57ea-3154-44bb-85e8-c54d1d6683a7/IMG_0908.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? - Filling raised garden beds with high quality soil is one of the most important things you can do to set your veggie garden up for success. For bulk soil in Central Oregon (typically less expensive than bagged products), we recommend ‘ultrasoil’ from High Desert Mulching. They routinely test their inputs for contamination. This gives us some peace of mind, since nobody wants to deal with remediation of harmful chemicals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1664483910394-9LNXUA7DJ05ZZYJB08HJ/IMG_1886.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1664483949284-12SCZ2WAZSWQRIL1ZE5K/IMG_9401.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1664484368029-1C2NZX1IIC4JS4F1GY9T/IMG_0923+%281%29.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1664484400381-K336OKUE1W18Y4WRFN9H/IMG_0921.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1664484858398-BTI8UXP8LOERIBMDTM56/IMG_3583.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1664484886001-X8SJJW8DM44KT7UTHEMI/IMG_3614.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/06687c3e-431b-4f6b-9086-66e435ce9f8c/IMG_5699.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What should I fill my raised beds with? We then filled the rest of the bed up with ‘ultrasoil’ (it settled a little bit) afterwards. If you’d like to benefit from the full depth of your raised beds, you’ll likely need to top off your raised bed as the materials down below decompose over time.

- avoiding overwatering! In general, we keep the top of our soil consistently moist while we wait for our seeds to germinate, but then, once our seeds sprout, we let the top of our soil dry out completely in between waterings. Not only does excess water create a dangerous possibility of root-rot for plants, but it also maintains the perfect conditions for fungus gnat eggs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1647050063552-LFXWSG89AWB36U90FF1H/IMG_0573.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What are these mosquito looking gnats flying around my plants? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1647049929903-CXE0NQX1VXG0IBP83BDJ/4B9E6F1C-B4D0-41D5-BB58-154105570874.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What are these mosquito looking gnats flying around my plants? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1647049949100-J9BX37IAC4TQGNS0G8FB/IMG_0684.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What are these mosquito looking gnats flying around my plants? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/2d3daea6-6e4c-48ba-964d-f29223836d86/IMG_0743.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - What are these mosquito looking gnats flying around my plants? - Make it stand out At this point we put up some more aggressive yellow sticky traps to knock down the adult population so they couldn’t lay more eggs. Then, we used materials we already had on hand, that, according to many, many sources on the world wide web, is a safe and effective intervention. We mixed 1 part hydrogen peroxide with 4 parts water and sprayed our soil with it to kill fungus gnat larvae on contact. It has been a week and, even though we can’t find any official recommendations for this method of control from OSU Extension or any other Extension publications for that matter, so far, so good. We aren’t noticing any new damage or plant loss and our plants seem to be growing at a faster rate than they were before. https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/super-simple-recipes-tortellini-with-beet-sauce-and-microgreens monthly 0.5 2023-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/12ebdf92-7028-42f6-95d1-3f1874c81c2c/tempImagebcKBUx.jpg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Super Simple Garden Recipes: Tortellini w/ Beet Sauce & Microgreens - Ingredients: 2 beets 1/4 cup really nice tasting extra virgin olive oil 1 lb tortellini (or another small pasta like bow ties, orecchiette, or penne) Salt & pepper, to taste Juice of 1/2 lemon 1/4 cup golden raisins (optional) 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional) Handful of microgreens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/21ac3f0b-040e-4e37-bc17-cf5bf7621ec9/tempImagedFSfBo.jpg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Super Simple Garden Recipes: Tortellini w/ Beet Sauce & Microgreens - Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and place 2 whole beets (or cut in half if they are really big), in an oven safe dish.

Greg gained confidence in his ability to produce food in his new garden space in a new climate, with new pest issues he’d never experienced before. With just a little bit of early season guidance, he was able to supplement family meals and include his son in the garden. The crop plan we developed proved to be a very helpful guide in maximizing time and space and gave him a calendar for starting seeds indoors on his own for his succession plantings. Unfortunately, many new Central Oregon gardeners get discouraged in their first season. We’re so happy to have helped Greg and Luke overcome challenges and give them a taste of what’s possible in their space! https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/super-simple-recipes-hidden-veggie-brownies monthly 0.5 2021-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1639000777966-PM5BZ6LMQLK7GUYE46SX/IMG_3812.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Super Simple Garden Recipes: Hidden Veggie Brownies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1639000778831-IF72GU9RKBP7WPOJRF3S/IMG_8654.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Super Simple Garden Recipes: Hidden Veggie Brownies https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/bug-gardeners-sunny monthly 0.5 2021-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/16eb0a19-916f-43c1-8ebf-90e1dbc536eb/IMG_1995.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - BUG Gardener: Sunny - After growing veggies in-ground on her property, Sunny reached out to BUG to help set her up for more success.

When your plants begin to bolt, or go through the next phase of their lifecycle and make flowers, leave them in your garden for pollinators to enjoy. Then, once the seed pods are dried out, cut the seed heads into a large paper bag and store in a cool, dry place for next season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/4b13dd79-f476-4f51-a9fd-a053858fde05/Screen+Shot+2021-11-23+at+10.25.38+AM.png Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Where should I get seeds for my veggie garden? - When growing plants for seed, Spring recommends, “Make sure you allow enough plants to go to seed to create strong diversity in your strain's genetics. Choose the healthiest, strongest, tastiest, most beautiful plants to be your seed stock.

Remove and chop the leaves of the kohlrabi and set aside. Cube the kohlrabi stems and set aside. Place the bulb (technically modified stem) of the kohlrabi on a cutting board and slice off the bottom woody part along with the top. Then, peel the skin with a knife or vegetable peeler (like peeling an apple). Put the peels in your compost bin and cut the kohlrabi bulb into cubes and set aside with the stems. Peel (optional) the potatoes and cube like the kohlrabi. Finely chop the onion. Heat the oil in a soup pot and cook the onion for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Add the cubed veggies and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring a few times. Add stock and bring to a boil. Then turn down the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes (or until the veggies are tender).

Sometimes we replant because they don’t all make it, but this early start typically means we have heads of broccoli to harvest by June! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1619384794365-MK20UP0WP4QHD4KPJJKL/soil+thermometer.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How early can we plant vegetables in Bend? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1619385080362-GJ175RUZ3L5VCS0KB1ZA/season+extension.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How early can we plant vegetables in Bend? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1619385368517-GV09QTD5LJ7I1DAAKSFD/row+cover+and+wall+of+water.jpeg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - How early can we plant vegetables in Bend? If using walls of water or mini hoophouses, you can often get away with planting cold sensitive crops in mid-May in many parts of Bend, but be prepared with back-up plants and cover them with row cover (sometimes in addition to your plastic if you have a hoophouse) to keep them as warm as you can. It’s also nice to let your plants hang out for at least a few days in their pots in the conditions where they will be transplanted so they can acclimate a little bit before getting planted in their new homes. https://bendurbangardens.com/blog/canyoureallygrowvegetablesinbend monthly 0.5 2022-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1609143242309-FBNQ44CBMN93SO9SZG11/Romanesco+Cauliflower+Bend+Urban+Gardens.JPG Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Can you really grow vegetables in Bend, Oregon? - Romanesco cauliflower harvested in mid-September https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1609143933586-MOPWQGFR6UL5LTOXJLLH/May+greens+Bend+Urban+Gardens.jpg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Can you really grow vegetables in Bend, Oregon? - Raised garden bed of greens harvest at the end of May https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1609144282613-DY3RMRAMCXX0VSJY52G9/Spinach+Bend+Urban+Gardens.jpg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Can you really grow vegetables in Bend, Oregon? - Early May spring greens in a covered raised garden bed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1609145059442-Y9M1AOTRV5L7HWPAP9YI/IMG_0548.jpg Bend Urban Gardens Blog - Can you really grow vegetables in Bend, Oregon?

About - At BUG, we we are committed to being timely and offering exceptional quality. We hold a growth mindset, always striving to learn and improve alongside the gardeners we support. We are enthusiastic about doing what’s right for the Earth and our community.

Later, as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student in rural Finland, she milked cows and saw vegetables growing in the gardens of her host families. She never grew a vegetable in her life, though, until after graduating from Brandeis University with degrees in Anthropology and International and Global Studies. She then served as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer in Philadelphia, helping her neighbors gain greater access to nutritious food. These experiences led her to apprentice on organic vegetable farms in Oregon and California, and earn a Certificate in Ecological Horticulture from the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at UC Santa Cruz. In 2009, after completing the program, she moved home to Bend and spent nearly nine years teaching nutrition, cooking, and gardening, as an educator with the OSU Extension Service SNAP-ED Program in Deschutes County, proudly wearing a cape on a daily basis in her role as a Food Hero. A 2014 graduate of the Master of Arts in Teaching Program at OSU Cascades, she is a licensed early childhood and elementary teacher with an ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) endorsement. Bend Urban Gardens combines Ashley’s contagious enthusiasm for growing vegetables as well as her strong teaching skills and strategies to provide helpful and engaging edible garden inspiration and mentorship. When she isn’t gardening, she can be found on trails or paddle boarding with BUG’s mini Goldendoodle spokes dog, Toby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1630327961417-3WRVDASJCZGTCIY4N69J/082521+Bend+Urban+Gardens-2.jpeg About in 2026, Ashley is in her 17th growing season in Central Oregon. She and her husband grow their own CSA share in their front and back yards, enjoying both annual veggies and perennial fruits. Their space was featured on the 2015 High Desert Garden Tour and their year-round solar greenhouse won the People’s Choice Award on the Environmental Center’s 2022 Green Tour. As a lifelong learner and collaborator, she regularly participates in the Central Oregon chapter of the Oregon Landscape Contractors Association and is an active member of The Foodscaper, an online community of edible ecological landscaping professionals. In October 2023, she earned a permaculture design certificate alongside fellow foodscapers through Midwest Permaculture’s design course. https://bendurbangardens.com/personalized-crop-plans daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1587707469802-OQE5QESWRCWHY13EHD4P/cabbage+and+cilantro+.jpeg Personalized Crop Plans A vegetable garden featuring large green cabbage plants, a green lettuce or cover crop, and developing heads of cabbage with dark green outer leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1587707494679-ZXYKHUDU1AY9ZT0RY3AI/chives.jpeg Personalized Crop Plans Pink and purple allium flowers blooming in a garden with a wooden fence in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1587707505392-G742RJ1LWIZAYDYX4QZ1/bee+and+flowers.jpg Personalized Crop Plans A bee collecting nectar from a bright red flower in a garden with various colorful flowers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1587707527656-VTCRCN9O25ZZRNGT9ZZS/corn+and+beans.jpg Personalized Crop Plans Red and orange flowers among green leaves and tall green grass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1587707601626-BYIKXHDH3K7RH2J7IA7H/pepper.jpeg Personalized Crop Plans Green pepper growing on a plant inside a greenhouse, surrounded by green leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1587934857005-S22IXLIMUTOBJXSGQAUH/greens.jpg Personalized Crop Plans Green leafy vegetable garden with a person tending to the plants with a small gardening tool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1588348161742-7YLSJ0QPWDQCX69TK8BZ/IMG_7547.jpg Personalized Crop Plans https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1588348191792-JNS6PGBIXL75LBM1KMZ2/IMG_7536.jpg Personalized Crop Plans https://bendurbangardens.com/schedule daily 0.75 2026-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/a30aabea-38fe-4791-b96e-38f63ada6b0d/Bend+Urban+Gardens+082724-25.jpg On Site Garden Consultations $200 Looking for guidance on where to situate a vegetable garden on your property, get questions answered about what to grow, or get step by step directions to get started?

We can add a pest protection layer to your mini hoophouse! We use 1x1” netting to keep large pests out, while still allowing most pollinators in. The magnets inside the outdoor strapping on the edges keep the ends flush against your hoops and are easy to lift for access to your plants without having to wrangle layers of materials or deal with spring clamps. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1613413124230-X20HTA6RMPRA14G9ZZWY/IMG_0394.jpg Season Extension & Pest Protection Our weighted bottom helps keep each layer of material laying flat against your raised bed structure and can easily be lifted and placed on top of your raised bed for easy access to your plants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1614702399508-VF4KD9BDMQ1L8TBO8GWS/raised+garden+bed+Central+Oregon+ball+bungee Season Extension & Pest Protection For most of our raised beds, you can easily lift your weighted plastic piece up and rest it on the 2x4 on top of your bed to access your plants.

Bonus perk: if your first round of plant starts that we plant together end up facing some struggles, we are happy to provide you with replacement plants! https://bendurbangardens.com/raised-garden-beds daily 0.75 2024-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/7df8d76e-8f06-4712-a81c-109780a3cae8/tempImageZAoTH5.png Raised Garden Beds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/66b30765-decb-491c-bd2a-8c9f651f5ddd/tempImageL1Bill.png Raised Garden Beds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/cc4b47d7-7884-4ce8-becc-9d88baec6711/tempImagexZeHdw.png Raised Garden Beds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1627251260730-X1PMIC19FIBIIONZ65FK/IMG_2667.jpg Raised Garden Beds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1627251312580-ON686GGS9E5TQMUWPH1R/IMG_1039.jpg Raised Garden Beds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/af6b2b18-8936-4158-8d76-8e51378b3fc6/IMG_1459.jpeg Raised Garden Beds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/1604062551244-23NTNSOYS88V8K3LZQHS/IMG_9408.jpeg Raised Garden Beds - Add character to your outdoor landscape with the beautiful wood grain of locally milled restoration juniper, salvaged incense cedar or western red cedar.

Next, we create a personalized crop plan for your space based on your eating preferences. Then, we’ll visit your garden every other week throughout the growing season to plant, replant as needed and per your personalized crop plan, fertilize, thin, weed, cultivate, manage pests, trellis, prune, harvest, and winterize your garden at the end of the season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5011e7992160435585e7b1/615af708-1458-4104-a9e7-4d8bea614092/Bend+Urban+Gardens+082724-79.jpg Veggie Garden Maintenance -
