It’s Time to Grow Your Own!
Herbs from Blue Ridge Herb Farm have root systems ready to plant.
Time to get those flowers and veggies in the ground, and there’s no better place to get your seedlings than the Monroe Farmer’s market!
Doug Race broke into an easy smile. “Hedge your bets,” he said. “Stagger your planting. If you’re going to plant six tomatoes, plant three now and then three at the end of June. That way you’ll extend the season of your garden into the fall.”
“Give them a goodly drink when planting,” Wendy Howell of The Flower Patch said, sweeping her hair back in the sunlight. “And be sure to plant them far enough apart!”
These are some of the great gardening tips you will get while you shop at the Monroe Farmer’s Market. Heck, these people are farmers! Who better to know how to do it, right?
But Wait! There’s More!
Are you kidding?
Wendy also sent us a link to a site that gives recommendations for plants that get along with each other and those that don’t play well. Here it is: www.companionplanting.net/ListofCompanionPlants.html
