KSRE Garden Publications

With families trying to trim food budgets and eat more healthful foods, home vegetable gardening has been growing in popularity. K-State Research and Extension horticulture experts have been teaching folks how to garden for years, so this trend presents an opportunity to highlight that expertise and reach new audiences.
As you look for ways to enhance programming, consider the "Kansas Garden Guide," S51. This update of the longtime favorite offers tips for garden planning and care, harvest and storage of common vegetables, as well as new vegetable varieties, many suitable for small spaces.
As you plan for the upcoming year, think beyond traditional audiences, and consider using this publication in 4-H Youth Development, with seniors, or in EFNEP programs. The 84-page, full-color guide appears on the current order form at a cost of $3.50. Here's a preview: http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/library/DesktopModules/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=1241 .
The guide will be delivered in time for winter garden shows. Remember that you may be able to recoup costs for publications through program registration fees.
Our Publications and Videos site has changed. To order before the pre-print deadline of October 30, use the current order form mailed to your office or visit the site at: http://www.ksre.ksu.edu/library/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=16 .
