The Year of the Garden………. Veggies top the list

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

My oh my, Oh my…………… I don’t ever remember in the thirty years I have been with Redmond Greenhouse, a more dramatic swing in the number of folks (ALL AGES) whom have walked in the doors and said…………. I think this year we are going to try our hand at growing Vegetables. I held a class on seed starting last Saturday and we experienced one of the largest turn-outs I have seen. Attendees sat on the edge of their chairs, eyes focused on all the information that was presented. I was truly humbled by the enthusiasm………… That said, I will repeat a very early statement……… This is the year of the Garden

In the upcoming days and months I will try my best to keep you updated on every aspect of gardening in our unique cold climate living  area. I plan on continuing the “Saturday Morning in the Garden” lecture series and will try to provide the info you folks need. Rest assured the whole county is embracing the “backyard gardening theme” so you are in good company as you head out into the garden with shovel in hand, a few seeds, and a sense of optimism that can only be described as “A darn good Feeling”  

Happy Spring and welcome to the wonderful world of gardening…………… Doug
