A Stroll Through the Garden: Yellow Jackets can be deadly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently got a call from a lady who told me bees exploded out of the ground in her yard and started swarming her. That’s way more excitement than this old man wanted. She was at a Hillsdale football game and said that she heard that several bee-like insects had attacked these people and died somewhere. Pretty wild, right? My own mother had a close call on her way home after visiting my sister during this season. As they were driving through Norwalk, some yellow jackets flew through the car win
A Stroll Through the Garden: What are the perils of Tomato Southern Blight? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In mid-July, I found out the Mansfield Extension Office got a call about a tomato problem while I was volunteering to answer gardening questions. I’m part of the Master Gardeners, a national volunteer group connected to the Ohio extension service. This year, I wanted to get more involved. Usually, I’d go to the Longwood Office in Mansfield and spend a few hours looking over the week’s questions. After checking out the problems, I’d try to answer questions from people like you. Now, I’m trying so
A Stroll Through the Garden: Peaches provide summer sunshine from a jar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Peach pies have been a weakness of mine for many years. A friend’s wife from church made the most incredible peach pies I’ve ever tasted. I’m sorry to say that she passed away several years ago.

He grew a lot of peaches. She turned them into incredible pies. At our church fundraisers, we invited peop
A Stroll Through the Garden: Franklin Tree in bloom has become an extinct pleasure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few years back, I visited my mom and saw that the Franklin Tree I had given her was blooming. It had been growing there for several years. That year, the weather was good, so the blossoms lasted late into the season. The tree was a bargain, and I almost bought one for myself at the time. As someone who loves plants, I felt it belonged in my own yard, too. As a member of Plantaholics Anonymous, I thought it should be in my yard. Plantaholics cannot escape beautiful plants, especially in bloom.
A Stroll Through the Garden: Cabbage invaders are ready to attack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I got a call some time ago from a reader about this worm in his cabbage. I visited his home to take a look. Most of his cabbage and related crops had small holes in the leaves. He showed me the culprit: a green caterpillar about 1 to 2 inches long, with a thin line running from its thorax to its abdomen. The reason that the insect was a butterfly was that it was a thin, small worm with the appendages and structures of a butterfly. My friend wanted to manage the insect organically. As I was looki
