By Arnold Krusemark This week’s gardening planning will discuss the location of this year’s garden. For most of us it will be in the same place as usual- usually near our house somewhere. There are other locations available which gardeners can use. In years past this writer worked for a Twin Cities firm which let employees mark off a small patch and plant a garden. The size of the plot was small -- about 10 feet by 10 feet each plot. It was surprising how much garden could be raise on such a small plot. one of our denomination churches bought a spare lot and did the same thing - divided it up and let area gardeners use an assigned plot. They also provided water too.
Locally Murray County also has garden plots available. Check through the City of Slayton office, for Jackie Giesen, 836-8534.
In the past there have also been empty lots which were rented out to gardeners too. This should keep you busy for now. Check your house plants too.
Until next week.
