Second Saturday Garden Walks
September 13 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
On Saturday, September 13, from 10:00 -11:30 a.m., veteran Master Gardeners Audreen Williams, Debra Roos, Jan Bartron, Kendra Waggoner, Laurel Moulton and Laurie Force will combine efforts on the final garden walk of the 2025 season. Join them at the Fifth Street Community Garden in Port Angeles to examine what is happening (or should be happening) in local vegetable gardens.
At September’s final 2025 walk topics will include but not limited to: late summer/fall tomato care, multiple aspects of saving seeds and using cover crops in the vegetable garden. Our final garden walk occurs rain or shine and is free and open to the public. The Fifth Street Community Garden is located at 328 E Fifth Street in Port Angeles just off Peabody, right across from City Hall.
At the August 9 walk veteran Master Gardener Jan Bartron described that the directly seeded squash plants in the Fifth Street Community Garden’s Food Bank plots had produced earlier than transplanted plants. Did you know transplanting can cause “transplant shock,” where seedlings struggle to adapt to new conditions? This shock can delay growth and fruit production. In contrast, directly seeded plants avoid this issue, allowing them to grow more vigorously from the start and producing earlier.
