Cooperative Extension in Penobscot County

Hi Master Gardener Friends,

I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying some time outdoors. Thanks to all who came to the coffee hour on Tuesday. It was fun to hear about what you’re up to in your gardens and answer questions in a very informal setting. I’ll poll the class on Tuesday to see if you’re interested in doing that again and what day/time works best for you. If anyone has the urge to moderate a virtual coffee hour, please let me know. Be ready to let me know your thoughts!

Please forgive the delay in getting this homework assignment to you. Hopefully you’ll be getting some handouts in the mail on Monday.

I want you to spend at least an hour in the garden this week. 😉 I’m guessing most of you already have this covered or plan to do this sometime soon.
