GARDEN PREPARATION

Sheryl Ward of Phelps recently held a basic seed starting class at the Phelps Fire Hall. Topics covered at the class included seed selection, growing medium, sowing, planting depth and supplemental light.  A sow and grow seed starter kit, four different tomato seeds and self-watering kit were available for participants. Ten community members attended and the event was free of charge. Each participant also received a tomato or pepper plant that Ward had planted prior to the class. —Photos by Sharon Gifford
