Springtime seems to wake up a planting gene in many of us. A summer food garden is a fun and satisfying family project. Growing food from seeds is inexpensive and helps kids understand where our food comes from. Home gardening can also provide a sense of security and self-sufficiency during the uncertainty of our current national health crisis.
If you’ve been contemplating starting a garden to add fresh foods to your meals, mid-April marks our go-ahead and plant date. For a quick start-up guide, check out the newest on-demand webinar in Forsyth County Extension’s Connect with Food Gardening series.
