Should old acquaintances be forgotten? Well, of course not! But how about making some new ones? Did you make any new year’s resolutions? Did they include becoming a better gardener or learning from scratch? How about just learning about something you don’t know anything about? Do you know how to graft? How about starting plants from seeds? (Not as easy as you might think). How to compost or raise worms, and why you might want to? Well, to find the answers to all these questions and make new friends to boot, why not sign up for the next session of Master Gardener classes? The next session of classes begins Feb. 19 at 1 p.m. at the Lowndes County Extension office at 485 Tom Rose Road. Call the office at 662-328-2111 for an application. See you soon.
