If you’re interested in a food garden this year, here’s the link to tell you when to start your seeds – from SeedStl.org It’s toward the bottom of the page.
As we have a warm day here and there during the winter, it’s a good time to prune trees and shrubs. I’m currently working on a hydrangea hedge which is fairly large project.
The video below by Scott Woodbury shows you the basics.
If you’re looking for a fun Christmas present, you can buy seed packets now for 25 cents. Some are more expensive at $1.00, but most are just a quarter each.
The trick is that you have to pick them up yourself and you need to order them now.
“All orders are for local pickup only, we do not ship. Instead of scheduling pickups individually, we will have two large pickup days for orders placed in December and January!”
