Insect pests, out-of-control diseases, and unrelenting weeds—these are the things that keep gardeners up at night. Most of us know that reaching for a spray bottle of toxic chemicals isn’t the answer, but what is the right way to combat these gardening nemeses? Dr. Jeff Gillman, director of the UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens and author of multiple books, including The Truth About Garden Remedies: What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why, has spent his career studying cultural and chemical treatments for these gardening problems.
In this webinar he will highlight which treatments work, which ones don’t, and which ones are too dangerous to consider. If you always thought an organic product like Bordeaux mix couldn’t be harmful, you might want to think again.
It’s no secret that the tomato is a favorite summertime staple. Year after year, countless gardeners rely on this formidable and versatile fruit to mark the arrival of spring and then top off summer with a taste that is not only memorable but also irreplaceable. But the tomato is also thought to be one of the most difficult plants to grow. According to tomato expert Scott Daigre, it truly doesn’t deserve that reputation. Yes, the tomato does perform differently than other vegetable crops. And yes, your growing region or zone may have something to do with how successful you will be. But becoming aware of the several common misconceptions will help set you on the right path to getting the great harvest you’re after. Scott is the owner and producer of Tomatomania!, The World’s Largest Tomato Seedling Sale, a series of events that pop up throughout California in spring. He’s grown more tomatoes than most, so who better to give insight on this delicious—yet frustrating—crop?
