Master Gardeners, 10/3/21

The UC/CE LA County Master Gardeners return to the Green Tent on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, from 9 am to 1 pm. They’re bringing seedlings they’ve lovingly grown for the MV community, and packets of seeds to give away FREE! And they’re available to answer your gardening questions, so bring them all your challenges!

This month help your garden grow with:

A hardy mix of kales, including Tuscan (lacinato/dinosaur/black), red russian, curly and dwarf. Get out that famous Esalen Kale Salad recipe. You can improvise ingredients, but here's a recipe to start with: Esalen Kale Salad

A lovely lettuce mix, with oak leaf, black seeded Simpson, bibb, arugula, mizuna and tat soi. Make a salad! 

Swiss Chard: their stems are bright red and their cute little green heads are ready to stand up tall and leafy!


Two varieties of SNOW PEAS (really big now — need to be transplanted!!) These are the flat ones (eat them pods and all) that people love to use in stir fry.

And Italian red (Florence) bunching onions  Fun in the kitchen!!

Ask  the Master Gardeners about Grow LA Victory Garden classes and what to grow in October!

And don’t forget: If you’ve got lots of these “pony packs” aka plastic six-packs, please recycle them with the MGs so they can continue to grow seedlings for you next month, too!
