Early June is an abundant time in the spring garden, a time when we can believe we've actually got the upper hand on weeds and bugs. But the dog days of summer always follow, and growers sometimes find that the task of garden maintenance becomes more daunting. In this session, we'll explore ways to keep your garden producing through the heat of summer, and we'll discuss planting schedules for your late summer crops. We'll also touch on insect and disease identification, to arm you with a bit more knowledge for summer's gardening challenges. If you've ever witnessed the demise of a cucumber plant just at the moment it was about to bear fruit, this class is for you! We may not save that one plant, but we'll help you learn to not take it personally.
