Growing your own fruits and vegetables, a nightly class offered by Extension
Growing your own fruits and vegetables, a nightly class offered by Extension
Beginning April 11, the 'Growing Edibles' series of classes, offered by the Chisago County Master Gardeners will begin to focus on growing vegetables with a presentation on growing tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. Gardening is not an exact science and it isn't possible to cover everything in one evening, but those who attend any of the classes leave knowing how to get started and what problems they may encounter. In addition to research-based information, the instructors are sharing from their own experiences. So if you haven't been successful at growing something, we'll help you find out what went wrong.
We have been averaging more than 30 people a night at the classes. Thanks to everyone who has been calling the office to let us know you are attending so we have been able to have enough handout materials available.
The remainder of the series includes classes on tomatoes, peppers and eggplant and other root crops; vegetable gardening principles; asparagus; melons, cukes, squash, beans and corn; and container vegetable gardening.
The brochure is on our web page in the Hot Topics box: www.extension.umn.edu/county/chisago. You can also call 651-674-4417 to have a brochure mailed to you.
Although walk-ins are welcome, we ask that you pre-register so that enough handout materials will be available. All of the classes are held at the Senior Center in North Branch and start at 6:30 p.m.
Look for our plant clinics to resume in May at the North Branch Office Monday evenings. You can leave a question for a Master Gardener anytime at 651-674-4417, x18.
