Your garden already holds the story you need to take part in the first HEAT Compass™ beta.

Whether your garden is still producing, winding down, or finished for the year, you can participate. During the beta, you will choose two or three vegetable varieties you grew this season and use their stories to explore the app from planting and tending through harvest and bed closeout.

Containers, raised beds, and in-ground gardeners all belong here.

The beta begins Monday, September 28. Registration ends Saturday morning, September 26.

The questions change as the garden grows.

Is this plant developing as expected? What does it need now? Is it ready to harvest? Is there enough season left to sow again? When is it time to close the bed?

The Taiga HEAT Compass™ is designed to guide gardeners through those decisions, from seed starting and planting through tending, harvest, succession planting, and the close of the season.

It brings together the conditions in each garden with plant biology and practical food-growing knowledge. The result is clear, condition-based guidance that changes as the plant, weather, and season change.

The first HEAT Compass™ beta begins Monday, September 28. Participants will explore this growing-season journey using two or three plant varieties from their own 2026 gardens.

Registration is open through Saturday morning, September 26.

Your garden. Your conditions. Your next step.

“Can I plant this now?” sounds like a question with a date for an answer. In a cold-climate garden, the fuller answer lives in the conditions.

The Taiga HEAT Compass™ brings together accumulated heat, soil temperature, day length, frost exposure, actual weather, and plant biology to explain what is happening in your garden right now. Then it offers clear paths forward.

You may be ready to start seeds indoors, plant outside, wait for a better window, or choose another variety. The HEAT Compass™ provides the condition-based guidance behind that decision and continues guiding the garden through tending, harvest, and the close of the season.

The first HEAT Compass™ beta begins Monday, September 28. Participants will use the app with two or three plant varieties from their own 2026 gardens and tell Taiga about their experience.

Registration is open through Saturday morning, September 26.

A successful harvest takes more than an average last frost date.

That date offers one part of the answer. Accumulated heat, soil temperature, day length, frost exposure, actual weather, and plant biology complete the picture.

For more than a dozen years as a home gardener and nine seasons as a certified organic farmer, I have watched the same plant variety thrive one year and take a completely different path the next. That experience led me to create the Taiga HEAT Compass™, a food-growing intelligence platform for cold-climate gardeners across the North.

The HEAT Compass™ brings together the conditions shaping a garden and turns them into clear, practical guidance throughout the growing season.

On Monday, September 28, it will meet its first gardeners.

If you grew vegetables this year and would like to experience this new kind of Northern garden guidance, registration is open through Saturday morning, September 26.

If it feels like the season has gotten away from you, it hasn't.

Late April in The North is when many of the most important seedlings actually want to get started. It just doesn't always look that way when the ground is still frozen and everyone on the internet seems to be a month ahead.

This weekend, I'm filling trays with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cabbage, kale, lettuce, spinach, celery, and basil. Nine crops that all belong there right now, each for its own reason.

I pulled together a short post with what each one needs and why this timing works, if you want a little more direction as you get going:

See the Blog link in the comments below.

The season doesn't rush in up here. It builds. And this is the weekend it starts to take shape.

What's going in your trays this weekend? Let's us know in the comments!

Elderberry canes are ready.

Next week, we're shipping dormant cuttings from our own farm grown elderberry plants in Northern Minnesota. One shipment for the season and once they're gone, they're gone.

5 cuttings / $20 10 cuttings / $35

If you've been burned by plants that couldn't handle a Northern winter, elderberry is the antidote. It thrives in Zones 3–7, rebounds hard after the coldest months, and once it's established, it asks almost nothing of you. Drought-tolerant in decent soil. Minimal inputs. Long-lived.

And it earns its place. Berries for syrup, jam, wine, and immune support. Flowers for teas and cordials. A hedge that feeds pollinators in summer and birds in fall. One plant doing a lot of quiet work in your garden.
