Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County

Seed Starting Techniques

Learn how to sow seeds in this hands-on workshop, offered through Trumansburg Community Education. We will cover light and temperature requirements, grow lights, last & first frost dates, hardening off your transplants, etc.  Class will be led by Pat Curran, Horticulture Educator at Tompkins County Cornell Cooperative Extension.  Pots and Promix will be supplied, but please bring a couple of your own seed packets to supplement those from the Cooperative Extension Seed Cabinet. Please DO NOT bring melon, squash, okra, corn, or bean seeds, as starting them on April 13 would be premature.

To learn more, or to sign up, please  visit the Trumansburg Community Education Program at http://www.tburg.k12.ny.us/commed/ for course description and the registration form.  For questions about the class or its content, please email Pat at pc21@cornell.edu.
