                        Some notes from Faye's presentation:

• You can obtain great compost from the dump for relatively cheap. She recommends mixing it half and half with your soil. 
• When planting potatoes, you need to use a seed potato (obtain these at IFA and on sale currently at Walmart), cutting off a section with at least one eye, let it dry, and then plant shovel depth, about 1' apart. You harvest about 2-3 weeks after the plants flower. 
• The types of tomatoes she likes are Brandywine, Roma, and Beefsteak. 
• Vegetables to start now are carrots, beets, chard, and spinach.
• Start peppers and cucumbers in doors and in May start squash.

Here are some creative Conference Ideas and More Ideas to help the kids pay more attention.
