Hello again HPers! This week's From Planning to Canning class is so exciting! Sure, it's only February, but it is time to get your garden plants started! We will: •Plant flower, vegetable and herb seeds •Start cuttings from an array of plants (succulents, berries, fruit trees, ornamentals) •Discuss the botany of seeds, germination and rooting •Use rooting hormone •Learn about light, heat, water and nutritional needs of new plants •Discuss germination rate and learn how to determine it for older seeds. EVERYONE WILL GO HOME WITH AT LEAST ONE FUTURE PLANT! Soil, seeds and pots will be provided. However, if you want to plant a whole bunch of anything and think you'll need larger pots, please bring your own. Class is on Wednesday, and two sessions are available: a morning session from 9:30 to 11:30 am, and an evening session from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Classes will be held at Temple Sinai, 5505 Forbes Avenue in Squirrel Hill, 15217 (the corner of Forbes and Murdoch). The entrance is off of Forbes Avenue, between the two large stone columns. We will meet in room 206 of the school. Classes are $20 each, and I accept cash, check, major credit cards and PayPal. (Sliding scale available. No cost if it's a hardship.) If any of this sounds like helpful information, please come to class! RSVP suggested, but walk-ins are ALWAYS welcome! Rachel 412-251-9759
