Basic botany and flowers, herbs, vegetables etc really were not talked about other than perennial slide shows and assigned reading. Good resource book and handouts but if you have a natural passion for gardening like you do...you probably don't need it unless you would like the volunteer aspect or connection with more gardeners. lots of info when I took it on trees- new varieties etc. overall....it was fun, but the money would buy a great book and some nice plants too. IF you have any more specific questions or want to see the book or handouts let me know, via my email contact on my profile. You are doing a very nice job on your blog!!!shannon i olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483303871072169333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118241265160996511.post-84265414265893582972011-05-26T10:13:02.425-05:002011-05-26T10:13:02.425-05:00Shannon, I'd love to hear what you think of th...Shannon, I'd love to hear what you think of the Master Gardener class.

I'm not sure why they do that... those 'leaves' are the food source for the new plant. Obviously since the 'odd' seedlings survive and do as well as the normal ones, they are still getting everything they need. I suspect it is just genetic variation. Hope I gave an answer that is helpful.The Full Circle Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403649649532270246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3118241265160996511.post-90225989759685747612011-05-25T09:45:46.351-05:002011-05-25T09:45:46.351-05:00yeah peas, mine are up about 4 inches, normally I ...yeah peas, mine are up about 4 inches, normally I would have planted earlier but what a cool weird Spring. <br />Question sometimes green beans ( bush variety, not pole) will sprout and I will get a few that grow but the sprout is odd, it is like the seed makes the first leaves, they are thick and tough, not like the first leaves on the others, they end up growing just as well and by the time the true leaves appear everything is on target but those first ones are just bizarre. ever had that or know what I am talking about? I sure hope we don't have to go cover things tonight!shannon i olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483303871072169333noreply@blogger.com
