SAUCE AND SALAD PATIO POT

Would you like to grow your own fresh tomatoes, peppers and flavorful herbs but don’t have the space or time? You can do it, in a pot! Herbs and vegetables thrive in containers. Their requirements are minimal--sun, water and a little feeding--and the results delicious. Potted gardens flourish on a sunny porch, deck, step or fire escape.
Plant a 14’ plastic pot with a tomato, pepper and herbs. Choose from a selection of culinary herbs-- basils, chives, rosemary, thymes, sages, parsley and savories--then select a sweet or hot pepper and, of course, a tomato.
Please bring an apron and floral scissors to class. A $39.00 materials fee collected in class covers plants, soil, a tomato trellis, container and instructional materials. 2hrs.
