Upcoming Class Seed Starting-Spring Crops

I'll be teaching seed starting classes for both Spring and Summer Crops.  The first one is coming up on Saturday, January 28th at 9 and 11 AM and will focus on early spring to late spring plantings.  The participants who have come to my past classes have walked away with armloads of plants, so it's a fun class and really worth the money.  The majority of the plants are heirloom / open pollinated and organic when possible.

By planting from seed now, you'll be ready to set out your plants in the garden on March 1st!

Plants included:

Peas

Beans-Lima, Green, etc.

Lettuces

Finger Carrots

White Icicle Radishes

Detroit Red Beets

Turnips

Kolhrabi

Kings Spinach

Rainbow Swiss Chard

German Chamomile
