Vegetable Garden Planning & Planting March 5, 2011

Location: Douglas Classroom, Center for Urban Horticulture. The second in a two-part vegetable gardening series, this class will still be informative even if you didn't attend the first class. Join Colin McCrate of Seattle Urban Farm Company (www.seattleurbanfarmco.com) as he discusses the essentials of pre-season garden planning and demonstrates a variety of spring planting techniques. Through a mixture of slideshow, lecture, and discussion the class will cover how to choose the right vegetable crops, how to plan for a long harvest season, how to use organic fertilizers, proper plant spacing, and year-to-year soil management.
