Will your strawberry shortcake be short on strawberries this year? We ask our gardening experts what’s causing problems for growers in Ohio and Kentucky.
And the caterpillars that grow into box tree moths are waking from their slumber, and they are very hungry. We’ll get tips on how to protect your boxwoods.
Plus, butterfly populations are falling across the U.S. We ask what that looks like locally — and what we can do to help.
On Cincinnati Edition, our experts are here with early spring gardening advice. We’ll discuss tree trimming, protecting against pests, and what you can do to support pollinators when planning your garden this spring.
