Petee Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 This is a method that I have been teaching for years although never in this magnitude. I advocate starting small and adding rows as your gardening skills begin to grow also. https://extension.psu.edu/county-offices There are many ways to make gardening easier and more productive without the use of machinery, chemicals, horses, cows, plows, and a dozen kids to help weed and water. If you would like to grow a great garden this year, either for the first time, or as the first in a LONG time, give your Penn State Extension Master Gardeners a call for answers to the growing food problems. Take the supermarket out of your pocket a little bit more every year and begin to enjoy less expensive, healthier food, with better heath and happiness as a result. Find your Penn State Extension office by checking out this link: https://extension.psu.edu/county-offices Find the satisfaction in gardening that has always been there. You just need some answers! Jefferson County will be holding Summer Garden Workshops this year with a limited attendance. Dates are not set yet, but if you would like to be notified when they are available, just send your name and e-mail to cjs5618@psu.edu jaman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petee Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 My suggestion to everyone who is just starting to garden, start small! No larger than 10 x 10, and plan on developing a daily habit of walking around it, morning and evening. Get to know what a healthy plant glooks like, and also to notice if something looks different. Don't garden like your grandfather did. That was an entirely different world and required very intensive skills handed down from forefathers for a different climate and pH. Heirlooms should be saved, but today's Hybrids (not GMO) can be the difference in whether you get a big healthy harvest or spend the days spraying everything you can find on your crops. We're here to help you become a spectacular gardener, even if you're a newbie! Penn State will also teach you to can, dehydrate and preserve your food. Get ready to eat better and to wean yourself from the factory food system than could defeat our world in a few days. jaman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
