Starting NOW for Gardeners: Seed Library Series 3 of 4
April is THE month for starting cold season vegetables outdoors and tender plants indoors. We'll talk you through all the possibilities and set you up with seeds to take home and get started!
Kaelyb Lokratntz, Manager of the Merrill Community Sharing Garden will talk about his garden project and share his wisdom for starting your early planting. Lettuce, spinach, radishes, carrots and more can all be seeded as soon as your garden soil thaws for fresh food ready in May. Meanwhile, you can start tomatoes, peppers and other plants that need a head start indoors to be ready to be transplanted to the garden around Mother's Day.
We invite you to listen, learn and (optionally) help us get these early start seeds packaged and labeled for April distribution in the library. Attendees can get answers from experienced gardeners for their garden questions, find more resources and best of all TAKE HOME SEEDS before they're offered to the public. Beyond the seeds for starting now we'll have other limited quantity seed reserved just for program attendees, so show up to score some surprises! We hope to have some seed starting kits still available to give away to the first few new volunteers. Please register if you'd like one, otherwise register or just drop in whichever you prefer.
