Improving Your Soil – Wednesday, March 31, 6:30-7:30pm
We may know that putting some effort into improving and maintaining our soil is going to pay off in the long run by reducing our need for additional fertilizers, supporting healthier plants and creating a more satisfying experience for us as gardeners. But how do we do it? An OSU Extension Service Master Gardener will give you the “dirt” on good soil. Practical tips and techniques on how to improve your soil’s texture and structure, the use of compost and mulches, cover cropping and more will be discussed.

Growing Tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest – Tuesday, April 20, 6:30-7:30pm
Tomatoes are one of the most popular edibles grown. But sometimes our Pacific Northwest weather can make growing them a challenge. An OSU Extension Service Master Gardener will share the tips and techniques that will let you ‘grow like a pro’ tomatoes. Topics covered are choosing the right tomato, planting times and techniques, fertility, pest and disease management, pruning and more.
