Transplanting and Direct Sow + Tomato Time!
Date: Sunday, May 5, 2019
Time: 1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Plan before you plant! Bring your garden plans to share your ideas as well as your challenges. We’ll consider what options you might have. Then we’ll review proper planting techniques for both direct seeding as well as transplanting. We’ll spend time in the garden looking at various structural options for climbing and vining plants, as well as how covered hoops can help protect plants. Lead instructor: Marsha Lehman.
Special focus on tomatoes! We’ll focus on the beloved tomato plant and share favorite varieties as well as growing techniques. Students will take home a variety of choice tomato selections including the brand new ‘Garden Gem’ or ‘Garden Treasure’ heirloom hybrids from the University of Florida. Lead instructor: Holly Jones
