Backyard Gardener: Fall asters for autumn color (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Backyard Gardener: Tomato hornworm: Big worm, big appetite (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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.
