Are you new to the area and hoping to start a garden? Maybe you’ve been here your whole life, but don’t have a “green thumb”. Or maybe you’re a seasoned gardener, but are looking to pick up a new trick or two. Regardless of your situation N.C. Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center has the series for you! Starting this April, we are offering a three-part Vegetable Gardening Series. All classes will take place at the Currituck County Extension Office, 120 Community Way in Barco from 10:00 to Noon. There is a $15.00 fee for each class, but with that cost comes materials to start your garden, to help it grow, and to help protect it from pests. You can sign up for as many of the classes as you would like, or all three at https://23Vegetablegardeningseries.eventbrite.com.
Join us on April 6th for our Garden Preparation class where we’ll learn what it takes to get our gardens off to a strong start. We’ll cover site selection and preparation, planting dates, and variety selection. With this class fee, you’ll take home seeds and transplants to start your own summer garden.
Two weeks later on April 20th, we will cover Fertility and Troubleshooting. If you’ve ever dealt with blossom end rot, had bushy tomatoes, or had poor seed emergence, this is the class for you! We’ll cover some of the common issues gardeners face in our area related to nutrient deficiencies and garden maintenance, including pruning and staking tomatoes.
Our final gardening class, Pests and Diseases will be held on May 4th. We’ll cover everything that’s out there trying to eat your vegetables before you do! More specifically, we will cover common insect pests and diseases, how to control them, and some beneficial insects to be on the lookout for. The fee for this course will cover the cost of a native, beneficial control option to defend your garden.
