Welcome! This blog is posted by Lyndsay Ploehn, Purdue University Extension Associate of Agriculture & Natural Resources in Porter County, Indiana. I will be posting news, advice, events, and resources for our local community to use. We are here to serve Northwest Indiana with any of their extension needs.



Our Porter County Master Gardener Association also volunteers during the week as a resource for answers to your garden, farm, insect/pest, disease etc. questions. We have a phone hotline (219)-465-3555 that you can call, but we would prefer to open up the phone lines and try out this hotline...online.

Wear Green!


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! I am on my way out the door this morning to be "green", by visiting the local farms of Porter County. I am very excited because it's a beautiful day. I hope all of you are wearing your green today to celebrate this Americanized holiday. If you read about St. Patrick's day, you'll find that we celebrate it with parades, wearing green, and partying, way more than they actually do in Ireland.

If I have more time later in the day, I will post some more fun facts about this lucky holiday. Enjoy your day, and be sure to pinch those people not wearing green!
