This year the Nicholas County Extension went in together with Laurel County Extension among many other counties and put in a plant order for the communities. In these orders people in the community had a choice between 2 varieties of strawberries, blackberries, 2 varieties of blueberries, 2 varieties of raspberries, asparagus plants and onion plants. I had put this together for the community in a short time because of my start date but within that time we had 24 people put in orders for plants. 5 of those were from our surrounding counties. 

In these orders we had: 

• Allstar strawberries: 28 bundles (25 plants) 

• Earliglow strawberries: 33 bundles (25 plants)

• Natchez blackberries: 74 

• Duke blueberries: 21 

• Chandler blueberries: 21 

• Prelude raspberries: 27 

• Bristol Black raspberries: 42 

• Millennium asparagus: 94 

• Candy onion: 37 bundles (60 plants)

So, all together we had 4,024 plants brought into the community to help start up their gardens and have these plants produce for them for years to come. In addition to the plants each person got a handful of SNAPP recipe cards to take home with them to have new recipes to try at home with the different plants that they had purchased.
