We are thrilled to announce the launch of the 7th season of our Home Garden Trials! This year, we have an exciting lineup of vegetables, flowers, and herbs to enhance your garden.

Our trials include five cool-season vegetables: beets, carrots, lettuce, peas, and spinach, as well as five warm-season vegetables: green beans, cucumbers, summer squash, sweet peppers, and cherry tomatoes.

We are also excited to bring back flowers and herbs this season with zinnias and parsley to add color and flavor to your garden. For our youth trial, we are featuring crazy beans, a fun and engaging plant for young gardeners to enjoy!

The deadline to order your trials is February 16. Each trial costs $3, plus $8 shipping for home delivery or $4 for pickup at your local county extension office.
