New this year!

This is a two-part seed starting session where you will sow seeds of some amazing organic and heirloom tomato plants (cherry and beef-stake sizes) and unique pepper plants (hot and sweet varieties).

Workshop Dates are:

March 23, 2019, Saturday, 10 am or 1 pm sessions (sowing)
April 13, 2019, Saturday, 10 am or 1 pm sessions (monitoring)
March 26, 2019, Tuesday, 3 pm session (sowing) – Newly Added Date!

Each attendee will plant a large cell tray of various seeds while you will learn about how to start them at the right time, what materials and soil to use, how to water them, and more. You will also learn about various seed types and what to use for seeds to be grown in containers and patio pots outdoors or in the gardens, etc.

Best of all, you will have the choice to leave your seed tray in Cathy T’s greenhouse until germination and pricking out phases, or take it home to oversee it as desired. During the April monitoring date, you will review the progress of your seed tray.

The focus of these two workshops is on sowing warm season crops which are started early in the greenhouse (or indoors) and then planted outdoors in containers, patio pots, or your garden after all chances of spring frost.

Remember, there is nothing better than home grown plants. You learn the process, watch them rise and grow, and then savor the harvest.

About the Seeds:

All the seeds you will sow are “Certified Organic” and are heirloom and/or open-pollinated and some are hybrids. Don’t know what that means? We will teach you in the sessions. The seeds are part of the “safe seed pledge” by organic farmers.

Additional seed types will be available to mix into your seed growing tray as desired (moon flower, soybean, basil, cucumber, radish based on seed availability).

A complete seed list is forwarded to “confirmed paid attendees” in advance. You will have the opportunity to identify your preferences. We will do our best to accommodate your seed desires, but let’s just say, I have hand-selected fun, delicious, unique and amazing seeds as your choices. Your tray will be a mix of types which makes it super fun and delicious when you harvest your fruits and veggies.

One final thought:

Learning how to sow seeds is a truly rewarding experience and you end up with many plants to grow and then savor the harvest, however, seeds are tricky too. There is always a chance of one or two seedling having an issue but we will go over whys if this happens. We will cover all on how and what you need to grow seeds in a hobby type greenhouse and what you need indoors if growing seeds in your home. These sessions are designed for beginners. We also go over potential pitfalls when growing by seed is not done correctly – what to plan for and more.

I’m truly looking forward to you joining our first annual SEED STARTING sessions.

Feel free to ask any questions in advance.
