Vegetable Demonstration Garden

The purpose of the vegetable test garden is to test varieties for taste, insect and disease resistance and yield. Our first garden was in the spring of 1999 and each season since then. Sixteen raised 4X20 foot beds equipped with drip irrigation provide ample space to test tomato, cucumber, onion, squash, peppers and other crops. A compost demonstration area makes use of the spent plants and provides a nutrient rich material to incorporate into the beds.
