Seed and Plant Choices

Decatur Public Library is happy to be partnering with the U of I Extension Office and the Masters Gardeners to bring you their 5-week webinar series: Growing Great Vegetables. We will live stream the Zoom sessions in the Madden Auditorium for those that wish to participate each week, beginning February 28th. You may attend the live sessions as you choose but registration is requested, so we may provide handouts or other materials.

Seed and Plant Choices: Session 2

Planning, design, and layout are key elements to successful gardening. Learn about hardiness zones, frost and freeze dates, how to order plants or seeds from a garden catalog or locally, reading and selecting seed packets, and starting plants from seed. We'll also cover soil testing and amendments, fertilizer, manures, mulch, watering, and weeding
