Spring Garden Series






Penn State’s Lehigh and Northamption County Master Gardeners are offering classes to launch the vegetable gardening season.


If you are browsing those beautiful seed catalogs now, the first sessions on planning and seed starting should push you out of the winter doldrums. These timely topics are offered on February 24 in Northampton County and February 27 in Lehigh County.

The “Mission Possible” series in March “Mastering Home Vegetable Production” continues with planting, spacing, watering, feeding, rotation as well as pest management.

Small space? Container Vegetable Gardening will be covered February 27 in Lehigh County and March 10 in Northampton County.

Both locations will end with “Win with Tomatoes and Peppers”.

Each class costs $6 or $30 for all 6 hour-long sessions at one of location. Space is limited and usually fills quickly. If you are a beginning vegetable gardener or an old hand looking for a refresher or some new ideas, you can’t beat this deal.

See the brochure “Spring Garden Series: Victory in the Vegetable Garden” for all the details.

Looking at these photos makes me hungry for a salad or a BLT sandwich.

Luv the name "Mission Possible"....I hope to do some vegetables in containers this summer.

Stay warm.

Donna,

i'm not sure I'll continue growing vegetables in containers. The pole beans turned out really well but keeping them watered in the summer is a real chore. On the other hand, I got a lot from a small space and harvesting is easy when the plants are eye level.
