We hope you can join UCCE Stanislaus County Master Gardeners Rho Yare and Ted Hawkins for our Zoom Warm Season Vegetable Gardening class on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 from 6:00-7:30 p.m.

Now is the time to start thinking about which delicious vegetables you want to grow in your garden. Ted and Rho will go over all the possibilities with you in this class.

Spring Vegetables

These vegetables don't mind the cold and can be planted from seed in February. They may grow slowly, but as weather warms they will grow more quickly. Lettuce, Swiss Chard, arugula, mustard greens, and other leafy greens do well. Radishes, beets, carrots, turnips, and happy during this time as well. However, by late spring/early summer, many of these plants can't take the heat and may “bolt,” sending up flower stalks that the bees enjoy.

Summer Vegetables

You can plant these vegetables from seed or transplant in late March. They prefer warm weather and may “sulk” and grow very slowly if you plant them too early. These vegetables include melons, squash, winter squash, corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Hope to “see” you there!

We hope you will join us online for an evening about how to have a successful vegetable garden. If you are a veteran gardener and would like to share your favorite varieties and successes, we hope you will join us and post your favorite vegetables, varieties and other tips in the chat.
