This event will “lettuce” talk about vegetables.  Whether you want to eat healthier, know where your food comes from, or just love the idea of growing delicious vegetables at home, this class is for you.  Our speaker for the event will be Dotty Woodson – Extension Program Specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in Dallas, Texas.  Learn proper soil preparation, garden design and layouts, disease and insect identification, as well as the proper planting times.  Growing vegetables and herbs in the fall and winter provide an enjoyable experience because of the cooler weather and different vegetables grown in the winter.  The possibilities are incredible….. corn, carrots fall tomatoes, squash, cabbage, greens, broccoli, cauliflower, cilantro, lettuce, kale, swiss chard, onions, potatoes and more.
