Get educated on right plants

Master Gardener volunteers have tested popular flower and vegetable varieties and want to share. Each year, the seed trial gardeners test six vegetables and two flower varieties. They look for the best return on investment. They’ve tested heirlooms, seed saved from generation to generation, and varieties that promise high yield, ease of growing, space saving and simple beauty.

The list is updated each January. To get a copy of the full list with the current updates go to extension.umn.edu/planting-and- growing-guides/master- gardener-seed-trials or call the Carlton County Extension Office, 218-384-3511, to have a copy mailed to you.
