Featured vs. Community ArticlesWhen you're browsing articles in any of the main site categories, you'll see tabs near the top of the screen that indicate whether you're looking at Featured or Community content. Featured articles are usually written by our expert contributors or are archived articles from Taunton's Kitchen Gardener magazine.When you're looking at Community articles, you're browsing through contributions from gardeners from all over the world, and of all skill levels.And if we find Community content that we think other gardeners will enjoy, we'll give it a prime spot on our homepage and maybe even feature it in an upcoming eLetter.CategoriesGrowThis is our general gardening section, where you can read or post articles about how to be a better gardener. Some examples of the types of articles that should appear here are Companion Plantings, How to Grow Carrots, and How to Grow Sweet Cherries.RecipesHere's where you can find and post interesting recipes like Lemon Basil Ice Cream, Baked Runner Beans, and Leek and Potato Soup. Okay, moving right along... I'm getting hungry!(Disclaimer: Featured recipes were written and/or tested by experts or our editors. If you try a Community recipe, there's no telling what you'll get—but we're hoping it'll be delicious and that you'll leave a comment for its author.)VideoOur video channel is where you can watch videos created by experts or to share interesting videos you find on the Web. If you make your own videos, you can also upload them to a hosting service like YouTube and embed them here. And if you see anything that looks like it doesn't belong here, don't hesitate to report it to our Customer Service Department.In the KitchenThis is a place for anything kitchen-related that's not an actual recipe—things related to the harvesting, preparation, and preservation of what you grow.
