Farm and Family

There are two new 4-H projects available for you to enjoy.

The first new offering is a crocheting club. The project will be a purse made from “granny squares.” Brenda Simpson, who many of you met while in sewing, has agreed to offer a beginning crocheting class. 

Saundra Smith, our knitting club leader has agreed to assist Brenda with this class. 

The Henry County 4-H Talk Meet and Variety Show was held on March 23 at the Henry County Cooperative Extension Service.  The evening began with junior division speeches which are broken down by the 4-Hers ages. 

It’s SPRING and warm weather makes many of us start planning for flower and vegetable gardens and with today’s tight economy, everyone is looking for ways to cut expenses. Growing a garden has the potential to reduce the amount of money spent on groceries. But this “potential” depends on the costs involved in growing the crops, types and amounts of vegetables grown, yields that are derived from the garden, and other factors.
