Extension Center to host Vegetable Production meeting

By Gary Carter, Co. ext. agent

The Harrison County Extension Office will be sponsoring a Vegetable Production meeting on Thursday, March 11, 7 p.m. at the Extension Office.

This meeting is open to anyone interested in vegetable gardening. If you have a small garden in your backyard, or you will be growing vegetables to sell at the local Farmer’s Market or you are interested in growing commercial vegetables, this will be an excellent opportunity for you.

Vegetable production has increased in the county in the past few years. Come and learn the basics of gardening, what varieties work best in this area, when to plant, how to soil test and other educational items that can make gardening enjoyable and fun.

We will also be discussing upcoming events for the local Farmer’s Market as well as training dates that are required for participation.

Come and join us on Thursday, March 11 and bring a friend or neighbor.
