While we'll experience relatively cooler temperatures over the next several days, this summer's intense heat and frequent downpours have made gardening a real challenge. The extreme weather has been great for weeds and insects, but it's been hard on trees and plants, many of which are now showing signs of severe stress.
Joining Cincinnati Edition to discuss how to control the weeds, garden pests, fungus, root rot and other problems brought-on by the high temperatures and heavy rains we've had this year and to answer your gardening questions are Campbell County Extension Office Horticulture Agent Sarah Stolz; Director of the Turner Farm Community Garden Program and Co-overseer of Homeadow Song Farm, Peter Huttinger (@turner_farm); and Boone County Cooperative Extension Horticulture Extension Agent David Koester (@BooneCountyExt).
Make note of Turner Farm's upcoming gardening programs, and see Boone County Extension program information, as well as classes and events in Campbell County.
