Veggies Get Some Love in Plot

Who says I don’t know beans? Last Thursday, July 2nd, the next portion of the Seminis demonstration area was planted with two varieties of green beans. Within the next couple of weeks, the demo should be completed with the addition of pepper plants transplanted from the Monmouth Learning Center greenhouses.


In addition to planting veggies, we also applied some nitrogen to the corn inbred demo and sugarbeets, and added a couple other little goodies that you’ll hear more about later! The storm damage to the fence was also repaired last week, so the site is looking sharper every day (as you can see below)!


Thanks again to Larry Weller for his help with site maintenance - he's pictured below working hard, as always.


Keep checking back, as the next couple of weeks should be busy at the site!
