May 2023-
Welcome back!!! Sunny with a spring chill in the air. Arriving early, I took a quick look  at the demo gardens.  Here are some highlights:

Theme at this time is GREEN & WHITE

Typically in May we have a member plant share.
BELOW: Emoke & Tom with their shade loving plants-     

Chris brought her honey to sell.

I got one of Emoke’s stinky helleborus plants;

We also invite Bob to sell his greenhouse veggie

and native plants. BELOW: Debbie looks over the veggie plants.

Marie, Pat & Chris, inspect the many varieties of herbs Bob included.

Following our mtg: Jennie introduced a new member to the extension staff

Vegetable crop consultant-  Chris Galbraith

We listened intently as Chris explained one of the newest research initiatives to control weeds in the farm fields-INJECTING ELECTRICITY into the soil.

From the presentation, it appears the future of our gardens& farms are in good hands.  Now about the weed control in our yards????  
WELCOME TO MONROE COUNTY CHRIS!  g
