The Deep South Texas Master Gardeners welcomes our Winter Texans back and would like to help you start your winter vegetable garden. Unlike in the north where gardening is done during the summer months, we here in Texas do our gardening in the fall and winter. Many of those wonderful vegetables that you enjoy back home can be grown here in Texas during the winter months.
If you do not have space for an in the ground planting bed, let the Master Gardeners show you how to grow all the vegetables you need in pots. A “Container Vegetable Gardening” workshop will be held on Saturday, November 13th. For this workshop the cost is $10, and you will receive your own potted garden to take home. The cost is payable in advance. This workshop will teach you how to make your own potting soil and the proper spacing for your plants in pots.
All of the Deep South Texas Master Gardener’s workshops are held at the educational garden located at 509 E. Earling Rd. San Juan. Times are from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and class size is limited.
To register for the classes, you may go to https://hidalgo.agrilife.org/horticulture/upcoming-horticulture-events/ or call the Texas AgriLife extension office at (956) 383-1026 for more information.
