On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise and Jan will talk with Eduardo Rascón about Windy Season and how you can protect your garden through windbreaks, stacking, and preventing transplanting shock. Heavy wind gusts might snap some of the tender growth in ornamentals. Gather your porch and patio ornamentals in a corner to add extra protection from the breeze. Structural support is important for stems to prevail during the high-wind season. Don’t miss this edition of Good to Grow, and stay tuned for the next episode!
ProTip: To keep the shape and blooms of your rose bushes, it is better to cut them out from above the bud, outwards, to prevent excess humidity and add direction and support for your beautiful blooms. Remember, with rose bushes, a bad cut is better than no cut.
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 the 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.
