Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean everything is gray.
Yelena Friedberg, really knows how to grow such great winter Amaryllises. Just look at the different varieties that she has along with the vibrant colors.

Cancelled – January Membership Meeting
After discussion with a few of our members I am going to cancel our January monthly meeting due to the weather and the road and parking conditions in and around the library. Parking and the sidewalks would be a problem for our members to get in and out of the library along with the single digit temperatures that they are calling for that night. I would not put any master gardener in harms way and I would not make this decision without speaking to some of our members as I previously mentioned.
Stay safe and warm during this cold spell and I look forward to seeing everyone at the greenhouse planting or making baskets.Thank you for your time.

11/18/25 Member Meeting
Tuesday, Nov, 18, 2025; 6:00 pm at the MU Extension Office at 2436 Tanner Bridge Rd, Jefferson City, MO.
Guest speaker will be Shirley Gassen from the Bittersweet Garden Club to provide a presentation about Winter Sowing.
What is Winter Sowing?
Winter sowing is the process of sowing seeds in a container during the winter and allowing them to germinate at the time Nature deems appropriate. The winter sowing process involves planting the seeds into a container that permits light to enter, provides some protection from the elements, and then placing the container outside into the cold winter environment.
To be discussed: benefits, best seed types, when to start, sowing containers, supplies needed, potting soil, step by step process, and Facebook resources.
