Planting in the greenhouse!

UW-L students started seeds at Aptiv 4/18

It was too wet to plant outside today at City Hall, but fortunately, we were able to plant inside at the Aptiv greenhouse! Thanks to Clara H. and a group of UW-La Crosse volunteers, we started several things that we'll plant out in the gardens in six to eight weeks plus some things we can use to fill in spaces or grow in tubs.

In general, the peas are starting to poke up at Aptiv along with the spring veg planted at the end of March--beets, carrots, kohlrabi, and more. 

Pick now! That's right! We have beautiful spinach at the Aptiv garden that started itself earlier this spring! Planting spinach in the fall and letting it "wake up" on its own in spring when conditions are right can mean fresh spinach in April!!

Our next group planting at Aptiv will be on Friday morning, April 26 at 8 a.m. weather permitting. Call or text 608-315-2693 to check if the weather is iffy. No experience is necessary!
