The Mary Jo Wegner Arboretum is partnering with the Minnehaha County Master Gardeners to bring you Vegetable Gardening 101. This is the final class in the series.
Set yourself up for a successful vegetable garden. Begin with the plentiful answers from Master Gardener, Jerry Mills. Together, you will get your hands dirty and learn a comprehensive foundation of vegetable gardening. Jerry will guide you with his tested and true method. Take each class individually, or take all 4 weeks of focused know-how so you can hit the ground growing!
During this week you will be presented with ways to deal with infestations of insects and diseases that can happen in any garden. Jerry will share his Master Gardener expertise to prepare you, and make sure you know the best way to find help. Healthy plants also benefit from fertilizers, and you'll get a base of understanding about what your plants need from the soil, and how to balance the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium they crave.
