On Sunday, Nov. 3 from 9 am to 1 pm the UCCE/LA County Master Gardeners will occupy the Green Tent with free plants and seeds to give away. And if you have any gardening questions, bring them with you! Take a look at the video with MG Julie Strnad.
This month they’ve planted up:
Sugar Snap Peas, those chunky, crunchy snappy peas that you eat, pod and all. Delicious raw or cooked.
Arugula — adds a little spice to your salad, the Brits call this “rocket”!
Swiss Chard — a very nutritious green for salads or braising or sautes…you pick which!
Baby Spinach — on the video Julie coos about these little cuties!
Kale—still one of the heartiest winter greens and packed with good stuff for body and brain
Succulents — weather may be changing but these plants are perfect for our climate
Microgreens — called “cut and come again” because you shave off some of the top bits, and they will just keep growing!
Cilantro — love it or shove it, it’s a bright sparkling herb that adds wonders to Thai food, Mexican food — and your food!
California poppies—this is the first time they’ve ever planted these from seed and they’re going to ask you to tell them how they’re growing once you get them home
Don’t forget to bring your leftover six-packs (not beer!) to recycle and plant next month’s seedlings in.
