Preparing Your Yard & Garden For Fall After Our Roller Coaster Summer Weather

We are accustomed to odd weather in the Tri-state, but this summer has been particularly unusual: heavy rains and unseasonably low temperatures followed by days of intense, dry heat, followed by more rain and cooler days. One morning it?'s August, the next October, then we'?re back to August again. It?'s posed a real challenge to farmers and anyone trying to keep their lawns and gardens healthy. Joining us to do more than talk about the weather, they'?ll answer your garden and landscape questions, are Scott Beuerlein, horticulturist and chairman of the campaign; Peter Huttinger, co-owner of and director of the Community Garden Program at ; and David Koester, extension agent.
