This Sunday, August 4, join the LA County Master Gardeners under the Green Tent, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. They’ll be giving out plants and seeds FREE to you. Summer’s a productive season!
MG Julie shares this video of what they’ve grown for the market; they’ll be supplementing these with some more, TBA.
Microgreens are super healthy, easy to grow, they’re called “cut and come again” because when you snip the tops they grow back.
Baby kale and baby chard — not just because they’re seedlings! These have smaller leaves and are also healthy for you.
Zinnias: Who doesn’t love these showy flowers?
And for the kids: baby pumpkins (called Jack-Be-Little) so small they’ll fit the palm of your hand. 95 days to harvest.
Succulents, in various shapes and sizes
Pole Beans (green beans) You’ll need to support these with some kind of structure like a trellis
Don’t forget you can recycle your six packs with the MGs and they’ll use ‘em to grow more plants for next month’s Green Tent.
