HINGHAM, Mass. - BostonChron -- Welcome to an exciting new edition of Food Gardening Magazine, the Water issue! If you've ever had questions about watering your garden, this is your issue. We're diving into this topic with three feature articles, plus a fun article about water science, which references dinosaurs, asteroids, and the Greek philosopher, Plato. What other gardening magazine will give you that?

From amendments to mulch to DIY drip irrigation systems to copper, steel, and plastic watering cans, the May issue of Food Gardening Magazine highlights one of the most essential parts of the garden – water.

Aside from water, what else goes into the garden? In May, there's a lot that can go into the garden. The 10 herbs and vegetables we're featuring in this issue, however, prefer to go right into the ground rather than getting started early and transplanted. Peas or carrots, anyone?
