WSU
Master Gardeners at the
NE WA Fair
Terry Swagerty, Small
Farm Program Director from WSU Stevens County Extension, is working
with WSU Stevens County Master Gardeners on a demonstration garden
at the NE WA Fairgrounds. This ten by ten square foot garden will
be used to demonstrate how a family can break into gardening and
how much can be planted in a small area. Beans, cucumbers, tomatoes,
cabbage, broccoli, and carrots are among the vegetables growing
in the fair garden.
A cover crop of field
peas and buckwheat is planted between the rows to help deter weeds,
and add green manure and nitrogen which will enhance the soil
for next year’s crop.
Master Gardeners will
be at the NE WA Fair August 21-24 to talk to people about what
is going on in the garden and answer any questions. Master Gardener
hours will be posted by the garden during the fair and on this
website before the fair.
For more information

Program Director at 684-2588.
