Bronze Arrowhead Oakleaf Lettuce on the cover of the 2021 UMass Garden Calendar For many years, UMass Extension has worked with the citizens of Massachusetts to help them make sound choices about growing and maintaining plants in their landscapes, including ornamental plants, backyard fruits and vegetables. Our 2021 calendar continues UMass Extension's tradition of providing gardeners with practical information.

Nothing is fresher or more satisfying than growing and harvesting an abundance of highquality vegetables and herbs. Growing your own food is also appealing as a way do something fun that is compatible with social distancing! To become a successful gardener is not complicated; for the most part, the needed skills can be easily mastered. The 2021 UMass Garden Calendar offers some tips on getting started and achieving success, with an emphasis on the basics, raised beds, and container vegetable gardening.

Our perennial wish is that you enjoy this calendar as much as we enjoy producing it, and that it is helpful in all your gardening endeavors.
