Over the past few weeks we have planted vegetables, propagated succulents, and learned all about different kinds of plants. Next week we will finish up by cleaning up the community garden and taste testing the veggies we planted!

Are you considering planting potatoes this year?! 🥔

Check out this great article for some expert advice!

https://www.ksre.k-state.edu/news/stories/2022/03/horticulture-planting-potatoes-in-march.html

“....any time from mid- to late-March is fine for potato planting,” Ward Upham said. The key, he adds, is that gardeners buy seed potatoes, rather than potatoes for cooking.

On December 4th Breckyn Prosser and Audrey Ivie, along with Livestock judging Coach Chris Spence and 4-H parent Kelsey Rollmann, attended a livestock judging clinic and contest in Tonganoxie, KS.

Although this was a first for both girls, each did very well. Both girls competed against more than 400 other contestants. Audrey ended up 7th and Breckyn ended up 3rd, bringing home the coveted banner.

We have a lot to be proud of in the success and potential both girls have exhibited! Way to go Breckyn & Audrey!

If you would like more information about getting involved in the Livestock judging program contact the Clark County Extension Office or Coach Chris Spence.
