Ready, set, grow!

Summer Seed Challenge!

TEENs - enter this challenge and you could win a $40 gift card to the place of your choice.

The challenge is for TEENs to successfully germinate and grow pumpkin, squash, gourd or melon seeds. The young plants will be transplanted into the Pumpkin Patch or TEEN Garden later in the summer. So here's where part of the challenge comes in... TEENs must tend to their seed or plant twice a week, measuring the amount of water they use, the location the plant is kept, and its size. These recorded observations will be used to assist TEENs in determining the best gardening practices for future planting seasons.

To enter, contact Jeni for supplies including the entry and data sheet, seeds, soil, and a container.

Remember, Jeni will be available throughout the challenge to "plant sit," answer questions or clarify rules.

Good Luck!
