I have just spent 4 days and hundreds of dollars getting ready for the "How to Grow" series of classes that are starting on January 31st. There is a small fee to cover expenses.
The first class "Vegetable Gardening 101" is a thorough class on how to start a vegetable garden. We discuss EVERYTHING from location and varieties, to soil preparation, small gardens and fertilization. This class is geared toward first time growers and those that have not grown vegetables in a few years. You will get the veggie bible "ID-128 Home Vegetable Gardening in KY" and lots of other giveaways (seeds, tools, tips) to get you started right! Register for classes here. The "How to Grow: Asparagus" class (Feb 5) is shaping up with the purchase of three varieties of asparagus to take home with you to try: Jersey Knight, Jersey Supreme, (do you see a theme?) and Purple Passion. I'm not going to give away all my growing secrets here, so you will just have to sign up for class! Register for classes here.
We will talk about how to care and harvest your delicate buds for the best flavor. I'll also share some of my favorite recipes. Don't come hungry!

Beginning Organic Methods for Vegetable Growers - Feb 21st
