    Read excerpt

    Hello, Mid-Ohio Valley farmers and gardeners. What a week as the rain continues here in the valley.

Hopefully we get a break and have some dry weather ahead for harvesting crops and working in the garden. This week, I want to discuss fall asters. I know, the chrysanthemum is the go-to flower for fall and with good reason. However, we need some variety in plants and colors. Look no further than t

    Hello Mid-Ohio Valley farmers and gardeners! We are slowly drying out from the weeks of wet weather. Fall will soon be here, and this year may be a great time to plant trees and shrubs. We should have plenty of moisture and give plants some time to establish roots before the first frost. This week I want to talk about a plant in bloom this time of year, chicory (Cichorium intybus). In the late summer months of July and August, you may notice a sky-blue flowered plant along county roadsides or in

    Hello Mid-Ohio Valley Farmers and Gardeners! We are experiencing one of the wettest Augusts in recent memory as rain totals this month are more than 8 inches in many areas of the valley. As the harvest of tomatoes, peppers, green beans, sweet corn and other vegetables continues, please contact the WVU Extension Office with questions on freezing, canning or other garden-related questions.
