We'll talk about some favorite summer vegetables - tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, beans, squash ... and also herbs like basil, dill, lemon verbena, marjoram ... and you don't want to forget flowers to attract pollinators and beneficial insects. Zinnias, sunflowers, cosmos, amaranth, rudbeckia ...
What do these plants have in common? Not only are they perfect to grow in summer, but we are selling them at the Spring Garden Market on March 31. See the Spring Garden Market page for plant lists and also a schedule of the 50+ short educational talks held throughout the day.
Tonight's talk will cover soil preparation with compost and fertilizers, direct seeding and transplanting, which varieties do well in our area and some of our favorites. Learn to extend the season by succession planting beans and other vegetables.
We'll leave time at the end so everyone can join in and tell us about their favorite vegetables and varieties and any tidbit of experience they'd like to share!
