Attended the Organic Gardening Lecture at North Haven Gardens today. Here are the notes I came away with:

- Mix herbs into tomatoes
- Tomatoes no later than MArch 17
- Add Compost in Fall
- Add Manure straight into beds
- Untreated cedar for bed construction
- Terminate tomatoes - limit growth, undeterminate tomatoes do not limit growth
- Look for drawf varieties of cukes
- Add Garden Innoculant for beans or peas
- Start tomatoes in May for second spring
- Feed every two weeks Organic fertilizer of liquid seaweed
- Flat leaf spinach cleaner
- Let broccoli bolt to attract beas if you have fruiting trees
- Black eyed peas second crop in August
