We are still seeing a great interest in gardening.  It is now March 2021, we have received almost all of this year' seeds.     We suggest you make your plans for your summer garden now and order your seeds and plants now.  
     We  are looking at Saturday, June 5 as our free Plant Give-Away day.  We are planning on mailing out a post card this year too.  We have taken down the hoop houses in the demonstration garden in order to replace them with the next size up: 12' x 16' x 9'   We  are currently making the compost to give out in June.     We aim to have a class in April or May on building a hoop house and a class on installing a drip system in your garden.  I will be sending out an e-mail soon letting folks know when we will be planting the seeds for the plant give-away.   If any one would like to come and watch or help, you are invited.  One person e-mailed us asking  how we start our baby plants.  Others might also be interested in watching what we do.  If you have a question or suggestion, please

e-mail us.  We want to  see you have a successful garden, and we are glad to share our knowledge.

Side Notes:

        We planted garlic in October and we are currently seeing green coming up.    We have put up the potatoes in cold storage (root cellar).  We have ordered our onions, strawberry plants, and gladiolus bulbs.  I  have finished reading a thick book on fruit trees and berries.   I hope to improve on all the things I have been doing wrong.   We are spraying our fruit trees with Dormant Oil.  We have pruned our trees, and  applied sulfer to lower the pH on many of our plants.  In the near future we'll be feeding the fruit trees.  We are watering the trees, garlic and bushes weekly.  

       We hope the Demonstration Garden has been a blessing to you and to others.  As I told folks here, the Lord blessed this garden, to show everyone they need the Lord in their life to be blessed.  The Bible has a road map to help you find Him.  May you bear fruit in your life for the glory  of the one who Created you.
