I've been busy the past few weeks looking into the veggies we will grow at RBG Hort Center this Spring and also at the Farm. We are growing 100 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, 25 varieties each of heirloom sweet peppers and pole beans, 25 varieties each of basil and hot peppers. The list of these will be posted on the RBG website in the next several weeks. Plants (and bean seeds) will all be available for purchase at the RBG Spring Plant Sale, along with the daylilies that the MGV will be dividing before the sale.
It's very hard, though, to look through the catalogs at these delicious tomatoes and peppers, et al, and know I can't eat them for many months to come!!
The MGV have some big plans as to what to do with all these veggies this summer. The Garden Festival is one outlet, distribution to food stamp recipients is being explored, perhaps Kristine will reprise her Pepper Road Show from last year. Anyone with other thoughts or ideas please share! And of course, those who help maintain these gardens get to reap the benefits, so to speak!

I am initiating a pollinator garden project at my place of work, with the gardens at our locations in Madison (Dane County), Milwaukee (Milwaukee County) and Green Bay (Brown County). I took my certification (2006-07)and maintain my membership at Rock Prairie Master Gardeners, so I will begin this discussion by asking if any RPMGs would like to be involved in the planning portion of these gardens, following guidelines that I already have from Wildlife Habitat Council? Since I live in Jefferson County, I do the majority of my master gardener volunteering outside of RPMG, but would do a face-to-face at Rotary Gardens if anyone from the group is so inclined.
