Attention Vegetable Growers-Post Season Checkup
Tues Dec 18th , 11-1:00 in Keeseville – Field Production of Veg Crops
Lunch included!
Steve Reiners, Horticulture Professor, and I will be leading an informal grower discussion focusing on vegetable production, especially fertility and irrigation, but other questions are welcome as well. This will be a follow-up on last February’s visit from Steve, so we hope those of you who came then will come again, and those of you who couldn’t join us, will be able to this time.
Please do let me know if you’re coming to that one so we can be sure to have enough food, too.
See the attached flier for details. 12-18-12 flier – Keeseville
