Growing Your Own Vegetables From Seed
Starting vegetables from seed can save money and will give you access to thousands of vegetable varieties not available as transplants. We will discuss which seeds are best planted directly in the ground and how and when to start them. Students will plant several 6 packs of seeds to take home with them.
Materials Fee $10 payable at workshop. Limit 20 attendees per workshop. Directions will be e-mailed to attendees 10 days prior to the workshop.
