Hints For County Gardeners By Joan Istas
Johnson County Agricultural Agent Lyle Turner led an Extension meeting on fruit and vegetable gardening for about 50 attendees in the Anchor Savings building basement. He urged gardeners to plan, record results, test soil, use mulch, water weekly, and select proven varieties like Kennebec potatoes and Jet Star tomatoes. He noted seeds can be ordered via catalogs. Burpee and Standard Midwest supply seeds. The piece also notes an adult fitness class sponsored by Franklin County Extension on March 16 at 1 30 p.m. in the Courts Building basement with contact 242 3166.
