Plant Swap & other Happenings
Our Reno County Extension Master Gardener's (RCEMG) host a booth each 3rd Saturday at the Farmer's Market, 2nd and Washington, in Hutchinson. Folks who stop by the booth can sign up for the Reno County Extension's quarterly electronic newsletter. The newsletter has research and up-to-date information in the related fields of Horticulture, Agriculture, Family Consumer, and 4-H.
Rae Leen Chesney is September's winner
of the door prize @ RCEMG booth @Reno County Farmer Market. The prize was
a set of plant ID stakes and a notebook from the Kansas Prescribed Fire
Council. The September booth's theme was fall landscaping and fire preparedness.
A big thank you to Jess Crockford for sharing his expertise. Fall is a good
time to clear cedars out of pastures and mow the tall grasses to limit the
amount of fuel available and therefore limit wild fire damage around homes and
farmsteads.
Another late summer Farmer's Market RCEMG prize winner was Debbie Fields. She won a garden seed catalog tin.
What: Bring any perennial plant, such as one you have divided from your garden. Exchange it for another plant someone else brings. You can bring more than one and take home more than one. Any type of perennial can be exchanged including flowers, trees, shrubs, vegetables, herbs. No annuals please. There will also be a seed exchange, either annual or perennial seeds. Please have all plants and seeds labeled. Then you can enjoy something new in your garden next season. See you there! Submitted by bcrockford, photos by phughes.
