Gonzales Master Gardeners held a successful vegetable sale March 5, with plans in place for another sale in April. A wide variety of tomatoes and peppers were available to choose from, along with transplants of most other vegetables that are typically planted in the spring. Squash, eggplant, cucumbers and melons were sold. 

“It was good to see so many gardeners of the Gonzales area come and shop for vegetables. We appreciate the support we receive from the gardeners,” said Shirley Frazier. 

There will not be vegetables at the sale on April 9.  However, the Master Gardeners will have herbs that thrive in the summer.  

“That will be our annual spring plant sale in downtown Gonzales.  After the freeze, we are sure people from Gonzales and surrounding areas will be looking for plants to replace those that froze. We will have a lot of perennials and annuals to give you color in your yard year-round. In addition, there will be a few citrus trees, herbs and succulents that have become very popular. Master Gardeners will be on hand to help you select the plants you are looking for and offer any advice for gardening,” Frazier said.  

Businesses donated items and pieces that master gardeners made, such as woodwork and dish gardens for a silent auction on Sat. The money from the auction goes toward the children’s projects to purchase soil, tree pots, jars and other teaching supplies. Kindergarteners planted black walnut seeds that will be given away to citizens who can help re-populate the area with black walnut trees.  Every Gonzales first grader takes part in the Children’s Eggleston Garden throughout the year.  Second graders learn about the water cycle by making terrariums. They also learn about insects and how paper is made.
