Frankln and Cerro Gordo County 4-hers came last night( June 1st) to plant their fair buckets.

Franklin and Cerro Gordo County 4-Hers came last night(june1) to plant their fair buckets. 

I will see if I get this posted  yet this morning.  Lovely morning out and we are watering, watering and watering.  No rain, so we have to do it with wands, and sprinklers.  Few wispy clouds, and a nice breeze from the east.  It must be low humidity when the wind is out of the east because we didn’t have any dew, and humidity is low.  High today is 80F(26C).  Enjoy and stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends for their Wed June 3rd will have high of 59F(14C) and 90% of rain  I need to ask if this is how their winters are?  Stay warm, stay safe.
 
Last night we hosted 4-Hers from Franklin Co and Cerro Gordo Co for a Fair bucket workshop.  We had 35 kids.  I think they all had fun, and took home lovely buckets of flowers.  Extensions pay for the dirt, and we donate the flowers they plant.  They learned about tickling the roots which is opening the roots at the base of the plant so it will start to grow in the new dirt.  They learned about planting it so I didn’t see much dirt and how to keep it looking good by deadheading the flower heads.  You can see how well it went last night in the pictures.  Again, how long have I been doing this?  I would say almost 30 years.  Hope it helps bring a love of gardening with them when they are young. Needless to say, I am a little tired today but back over to the greenhouse planting for you.
