In response to COVID-19, Cooperative Extension at N.C. A&T has launched a frequently updated webpage – COVID-19 Resources for the Public – with practical advice for individuals, families and farmers. More than 30 resources available on the page cover these topics and more – including tips on how to plant a garden.
Find it here: https://www.ncat.edu/caes/cooperative-extension/covid-19
“North Carolinians have known Cooperative Extension as a resource for unbiased information for more than 100 years,” said Rosalind Dale, Ed.D., associate dean and Extension administrator at A&T. “Because of this, our Extension specialists and associates were quickly able to use their expertise to tailor information to fit the current crisis, while at the same time making it easy for people to understand.
“Our county-based staff meet people where they live and work, so they see first-hand the impact that the coronavirus pandemic is having on families and communities, and are able to not only provide educational resources, but also resources like masks and food to help those in need.”

This is an example of a simple “community garden” bed made with repurposed wood. Extra plants are planted for the neighbors who are free to pick the vegetables when they are ripe.

One of McKim’s healthy young spring lettuces. Lettuce and other salad greens do best in spring and fall. For many months of homegrown greens, plant seeds every other week.
