couple of things worth noting:
i've attached (probably, LOL) the 2023 tomatoe plant list from our local Tomatoe Queen Barbara Midtbo: if you desire tomatoe plants that like to grow in our area of the world, please check out her list, and e-mail her with your order. we WILL be able to safely plant tomatoes, soonish.
i've also attached the floating row cover information handout from jane bolz' part of our club's recent season extension class - we will want all the help we can get to harvest ripe food this year: tricky weather ahead! during the panel discussion, jane talked about using recycled dish washer racks, freezer baskets, or appliance shelving racks to protect your precious plants from predators: good news, jane has some of those (the racks and baskets, NOT the predators) for you! please contact me if you are interested.
lee and chris bennett have a hay elevator for sale: 20' feet long, electric motor-powered, saves your back when stacking hay bales! contact me if you are interested.
i'm teaching a gardening class at camden grange and community center on 10 may on "how to grow veggies in our challenging neighborhood", from 7-9 p.m. i'm looking for someone to teach another gardening class on how to build and use raised beds and simple improvements (hoops, trellises, watering systems, etc.). the raised bed class would be held on 24 may, from 7-9 p.m., and will be a paid class (meaning the instructor splits any profits with the grange). i have a class handout/outline for the topic that you can use, if that will help you decide. please contact me if you want to add a professional line item to your already impressive resume.
finally, please check out the Facebook page for "Faith Farm", operated by Sandy and Greg Coehlo, who presented a lengthy and informative class on greenhouse and hoophouse construction and use, during our recent season extension panel discussion.
whew!
