Driving in the van with 6 chickens was interesting. Squawks at every turn. 😆

[Seed St. Louis @seed_stl]

We're so excited to be adding to our flock! A huge thank you goes out to the Armstrong's for raising chicks for us. 🐤

We'll be naming them soon and will need your help! Stay tuned...

I will say that having seedlings to take care of in the winter months does make the dreary weather easier to deal with. We have a class on 1/11 if you've never done it before!

[Seed St. Louis @seed_stl]

🥬 It's thyme for Giving Tuesday so lettuce celebrate! We don't often toot our own horn but we're kind of a big dill and would appreciate any donations, big or small.

🚨 You may have seen that the USDA updated their Plant Hardiness Zone Map and much of the St. Louis area is now Zone 7A. So does this mean that plants that are hardy to Zone 7 can now be planted here? Not necessarily!

@DustinDemmer I will say that taking care of the seedlings once we get them is so much easier now. The old peat mix would dry out so much faster than what is used now since the water actually soaks in instead of running off like before.

[Megan Moncure @meganmoncure]

@DustinDemmer This is all so interesting! Our grower for our veggie seedlings uses a peatless mix that they get from a local company. I'll have to ask what their ingredients are.

Youth Gardens: We highly recommend growing sweet potatoes! They're very low maintenance & there are many curriculum connections that can be made.

The kiddos @MRH_Schools Early Childhood Center's Kitchen Garden said they felt like "archeologists" searching for sweet potatoes.

[Seed St. Louis @seed_stl]

Many of the school gardeners in our network have incorporated Paul Fleischman's novel Seedfolks into their ELA & garden curriculum. Now you can see the theatrical adaptation by @MetroTheater! The play runs through 11/6!
