Tonight I gave my first Square Foot Gardening presentation for the new year for the Muskingum County Master Gardeners in Zanesville, Ohio. There were nearly 40 in attendance!

Just heard from Victoria at The Square Foot Gardening Foundation and they are needing the bagged Mix in Florida for a series of presentations there and she asked if she could have my stock. I don’t know if I will order more next Spring, so if you want some, this is your last chance to [...]

Anyone who wants to come learn about Square Foot Gardening in a hands-on way, we will be working in my yard in Newark. We’re starting from the bottom up.
