In this presentation, you will learn how to grow carrots in Minnesota. Master Gardener Jeff Mehr, will talk about the different types of carrots including: how and when to plant, what to do in the growing season and harvest. Jeff grew up with a large family on a small farm in rural Roscoe, MN. At an early age, he learned the joy derived from growing food vital to our health and well-being. Jeff has been gardening all his life. He has been a Master Gardener since 1999 and has since presented on a variety of topics focusing on herbs, garlic, and vegetables.
The last couple of summers have been challenging to garden due to drought conditions. The presentation will cover plant care and a little bit about lawn and trees during droughts from Master Gardener Joan Andersen. Joan has been a Master Gardener since 2000 and loves sharing information about plants. She grows perennials, annuals and vegetables in her gardens. In the past 3 years she has added a lot of natives/pollinators to her yard to attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
