New class coming in 2025!

Already planning for 2025 when we’re not even finished with 2024! 

Do you love to garden but don’t have the space? Living in an apartment? Condo? Trailer home? Or renting a house where the landlord won’t let you put in a garden? I’ve got a solution for you and I’ll be teaching a new class shortly after the first of the year. I’m very much looking forward to this one!

Small space apartment/condo gardening will be the name of the class. This will not be just the usual container garden class. We’ll be talking about grow bags, which I’ve used for 8 years. I’ve learned a lot and it’s taken me 3 years of extra effort to get it just right. What can you use grow bags for? I’ve used them for potatoes, lettuces, all my herbs, tomatoes, potatoes, and many other salad crops. You’ll also learn about another very nifty gadget to use when growing in small spaces. 

With any luck and if I can get the help, I hope to have this ready not only in person but also virtually for purchase. That way you can take your time and learn at your leisure.

Learn how to have a great garden, even if you don’t have a lot of room. As I’m writing this I’m chomping on pizza that was made with my garden tomatoes, garlic, and basil. I’ve not found any restaurant that beats it. Homemade always wins. 

Eat better tasting and healthier food. Enjoy the satisfaction of growing it yourself. Save money, and maybe even pick up a new hobby that you can do for the rest of your life. 

Gearing up for 2019

 

I’m not much of a Christmas/holiday person but when these show up, I’m happy. Lots of things planned for this year including growing some selected herbs and cherry tomatoes for 2 or 3 local restaurants. I’m feeling a little bit of pressure because of it, but we’ll see how it goes. There will be a new variety of cherry tomatoes that I”ll be growing this year in addition to the famous sungold, grape, and rainbow. Cherry bomb promises to be an excellent choice for a sweet red cherry. I’ll be growing English cucumbers again, along with a new, less spicy variety of arugula. Looking forward to a brand new season.[ois skin=”1″]
