To get the most out of your gardening dollar you cannot beat starting vegetables and flowers from seeds. Plus you can choose exactly the vegetable variety or much-loved flower that you want. Seeds can be started in just about anything, including eggshells and paper milk cartons.

There will be a seed starting and Garden Basics 101 class presented by Mower County Master Gardeners at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 11 at the Mower County Senior Center.

All supplies and seeds are provided. You will be able to take a starter kit home with you. They will demonstrate gardening in the senior center garden (weather permitting). To sign up stop by or call the senior center front desk at 1-507-433-2370. Hope to see you there.

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we are having tuna noodle hotdish and ham for only $2.
