On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise and John will talk with a special guest, El Paso county extension agent for horticulture and coordinator for the El Paso Master Gardeners Association, Eddie Rascon, late spring freezes, and the upcoming event at the Rose Garden. Around this time of the year, we have a tendency to have late spring frost. Be sure to watch the weather forecast and see how your plants are coming out on their bloom cycle.
Pro-Tip: Based on historical weather data, this is the time of the year when you would do some pruning. Leave your perennials until they start to green out from the bottom before pruning them. Don’t miss this edition of Good to Grow, and stay tuned for the next episode!

The El Paso County Master Gardeners started in 1981 and has been growing with many volunteers and Master Gardeners ever since. The love of gardening and search for knowledge are primary reasons people join the program to become trained and certified Master Gardeners. Texas Master Gardeners are united in name, but the program’s strength lies in its ability to meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves.
For more information visit the El Paso County Master Gardeners website for questions, tips and upcoming calendar events.
This program originally aired on February 8, 2025.
