Introduction to Organic Growing:

Are you wanting to grow your own vegetables but are not sure how to get started? Join this webinar for an overview of how to start growing vegetables.

Topics will include the basics of getting to know your site, common tools, site preparation, planting, pest management, harvesting, and extending the season.  We will fit in as much as possible during the 90 min webinar and will post many movies demonstrating the hands-on portions.
