Apr 20, 2022 Growing Groceries Class - Tomato Family: Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant & Potatoes
The WSU Extension Master Gardener Program in King County has launched its fourth season of Growing Groceries classes. All classes are offered to the general public and are ideal for the beginner to intermediate home gardener.
Classes will cover the major groups of vegetables and cultural strategies—from the principles of vegetable gardening in our maritime climate to the basics of soil preparation, garden design, variety selection, cultural requirements, major diseases and pests, pest management techniques, and harvesting strategies.
This series of 11 classes will help you learn essential gardening practices to grow your own healthy food, based on current science. Class content is taught at the appropriate time of year when it can be immediately applied in the garden. Instructors are WSU Extension Master Gardeners.

Instructions for joining the Zoom classes will be sent to registrants at 5:00 PM the date of the class. Classes will be held on Wednesdays and begin at 7:00 PM on the Zoom platform.
