Fourth Saturday in April<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each year, our Extension Master Gardeners put in thousands of volunteer hours to pull together our Plant Sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to give you a good selection of high-quality plants at reasonable prices. Our Foundation sponsors this event, which is our most significant fundraiser of the year. Proceeds are plowed back into our educational outreach programs to serve more people in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop our sale at Pybus Market, 3 N. Worthen St, Wenatchee, Washington. We open at 9 am and close at 2 pm, but sell out fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enthusiast shoppers quickly scoop up our veggies, perennials, and grasses so arrive early so find your favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for making this important fundraiser a success. We look forward to helping with your selections and appreciate your support.<\/p>\n\n\n

Before you Plant\u2013 Hardening Off Plants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For any plants that are raised in a greenhouse, we recommend \u201chardening off\u201d before planting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seedlings such as half-hardy annuals, half-hardy perennials and many vegetables that are started indoors with heat must be gradually acclimated to the stronger light, winds and generally cooler night temperatures of the outdoors prior to planting out in their final locations. This conditioning is known as hardening-off. It takes anywhere from seven to fourteen days. The correct timing of plants for both hardening off and final site planting depends on the plants genetic cold hardiness and climate factors for the particular area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When seedlings have reached an appropriate size and the timing is right for the individual plants to go outdoors into their final location, start the process of hardening off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Place pots or flats outdoors for several hours a day in a location of some morning sun and with protection from winds,  and severe cold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Return them to the protection of an unheated porch, garage or greenhouse in late afternoon and overnight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Each day, for one to two weeks, increase the amount of time plants are outdoors and increase the light they receive to the appropriate light levels, eventually leaving them outdoors all night.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • At the end of the period, and after all risk of frost passes, plants are fully ready to go into the garden. Remember to protect them from predicted freezing winds and heavy rains which can dislodge seedlings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
