On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise, Jan and John will talk about pesticide labels and the exciting adventures of the bugs in your garden. With the late-summer rains we have experienced in our region, there are good bugs that help your garden grow, as well as bad bugs, like mosquitoes, who are attracted by stagnant water.
Pro-Tip: When using pesticides in your garden, remember that “More does not mean better.” You also need to read the pesticide labels carefully to make sure of the application, how long before you can plant edible vegetables or fruits, and how to dispose of the pesticides.
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.
