Hands-On Workshop: Winter Sowing
 |
| Recycle into mini-greenhouses! |
We're hoping the weather will hold out so that we can have a full house at our next meeting. Instead of just a guest speaker, we're going to dig in some dirt for a while as Wendy and Valerie guide us through some winter sowing.
 |
| Winter sowing at work! |
Once Spring hits, they'll grow where they sit and then we can plant them directly into the ground without hardening them off!
 |
| Exciting results! |

- One or two of the following containers to convert to mini-greenhouses:
- 2L pop bottle
