During a day when ice covered most of Forsyth County, 10 out of 12 enrolled children showed up at the Forsyth County Library for the fourth session of Master Gardener Sprouts to learn about planting vegetables. Third-grader Dylan McCall planted two garlic plants at the previous MG Sprout session — one for his younger sister, Delia, and one for himself. With his sister missing the session because of softball practice, Dylan said he planted one for her because “she would be sad if I didn’t do one for her.”
