Gardening Workshop: Start Your Own Vegetable & Fruit Transplants from Seeds.
Part I 2 separate sessions (chose one): Saturday February 27, 2010, 2:00 to 4:30 PM Monday March 8, 2010, 2:00 to 4:30 PM $45 person / $65 for 2 people sharing tray. Learn when and how to start specific seeds indoor in flats and pots for later transplanting and which ones are better direct-seeded. We will review sowing calendar for various plants (vegetable, fruit, herbs and even some edible flowers), appropriate soil(s) to use, germination conditions, light requirement, care after seedlings emerge, how to harden seedlings off, good transplanting techniques, fertilization practices, pest and disease control. Participant will choose seeds from the instructors' collection to start up a flat. They will take their flat home to tend and transplant at the appropriate time. Handouts will be distributed. All supplies (flats, pots, seeds, soil) provided. Bring your own apron & gloves and leave with a fully seeded flat!
Part II 2 separate sessions (choose one): Sunday March 21, 2010, 2:00 to 4:00 PM Monday March 29, 2010, 2:00 to 4:00 PM $35 person without starting a tray/ $45 starting a tray ($5 discount for those who have taken Part I: $30 without a new tray/or not bringing tray back; $40 with tray either new or to transplant ) This class may be taken by itself or as a practical follow-up to Part I. In this class, we will focus on transplanting seedlings and providing advice on continuing to grow them strong & healthy. We will review the needs of specific seedlings between now and planting out (feeding, lighting, watering, up-potting, hardening off) and we will review transplanting out schedule and techniques. Bring back the tray seeded in Part I class for feed-back and up-potting or try your hands with the instructor’s seedlings. OR if you have not taken Part I, you can still start a tray. Hands-on class, all supplies (flats, pots & soil) provided. Bring your own apron & gloves.
