Are you itching to get outside, breathe in the fresh air and feel the comfort and joy of working in the soil that has been prepared for gardening? If you’re yearning to grow flowers or vegetables but are short on space or have limited mobility, give container gardening and/or raised bed gardening a try. Container gardening allows for creativity in a small space and, since plants can be moved inside in the spring and fall, lets gardeners extend the growing season. Also, container and raised bed gardens are less prone to disease and insect infestation than traditional gardens. University of MO Extension Agronomist, Terry Halleran, is offering a workshop at the St. Clair County Library in Osceola Thursday, April 6 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to answer questions about container and raised bed gardening. Some of the workshop topics include choosing the right kind of container, what types of plants work best in container gardening, and benefits of container and raised bed gardening. To register for the class contact the MU Extension St. Clair County office at (417) 646-2419 or send an email to stclairco@missouri.edu. Cost of the class is $10.00. Registration is due by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5. Contact us immediately if you need accommodations because of a disability, need to relay emergency medical information or need special arrangements if the building is evacuated. The office is located just inside the west door on the 1st floor of the Courthouse.
You can help Missouri’s agricultural community efficiently produce food, fuel and fiber. Take time to complete the Missouri Custom Rates survey.
This survey, conducted by @MUExtAgEnvironment team members, is taken every three years to gauge rates for a variety of agricultural services. From tillage and fertilizer application, to processing and off-farm transportation, the survey aims to uncover average costs across Missouri. Don’t wait. This survey closes in early April. Take the survey at http://muext.us/customrate/ Choose the broad categories of custom activity for which you will provide information and enter your values for individual activities.
