Ellis's Greenhouse is once again starting transplants for the Master Gardener Program at the University of Maine Co-operative Extension. I love this. It's so interesting to start seeds for plants I haven't seen before, as well as old favorites. Last year, the Master Gardeners had several gardens, and from the pictures, courtesy of Kate Garland, they did beautifully. Check this out:
Fabulous, huh?
And this year, they're doing it again! I can't wait to get the seeds for this year's garden--the Wacky and Wonderful Garden. Already I'm curious, and will keep you updated on the strange and amazing plants you'll be able to see at Roger's Farm this summer.
Here's a link to the University of Maine Extension's gardening programs.

If you're a gardener or thinking of starting your first garden ever, I'm sure they have something to interest you. And check out the rest of the site for the Co-operative extension. Loads of good information at your fingertips!
Maine Garden Day is coming up in April, and will be held at Lewiston High School. The Co-Operative Extension will be holding many workshops, on everything from gardening and making pickles to chainsaw use and safe operation--which our Kirby Ellis will be conducting. You go, Kirb!

It's a great opportunity to gain knowledge, and of course, have fun.
Thank you, Kate, for the pictures and links!
