On this week’s show, Denise and John offer tips on how cold temperatures can benefit your local gardens. During the winter time, the temperatures at this time allow gardeners to reduce insects, diseases, and other pathogens as well as having chilling hours for fruit trees, pruning trees and more. Denise will also provide more updates and information on the El Paso County Master Gardeners programs that will be available for anyone to attend.
The Masters Gardeners program itself has spread throughout the United States, Canada and other countries. Started in 1981, the El Paso County Master Gardeners was the first program to start within the state of Texas and continues to grow in numbers. The primary reason volunteers join the program is the love of gardening and the search for knowledge.
