Mid-South: June 2018

Well, we're certainly starting off soggy this month. Flooding to the north here in GA. And I've seen lots of flooding in other states as well. Please be safe...

IF you can get out to your garden, there's lots to do. With the humidity & rising temps, you'll need to keep an eye out for powdery mildew & other fungi infestations. Please check the archive section to see help with those.

As far as planting, Gardenate.com gives us the start of our fall gardens. (I know, right? Already?)
