Laura is joined in studio this morning with UMN Extension horticulturist Laura Irish Hanson. This season’s drought has been difficult, but Laura has tips on how to keep your gardens alive. Don’t forget to water your trees! And when is the best time to water our plants? Clue: you can stay in your pajamas. Plus questions about apple tree termite infestations, tomato blossom end rot, butternut squash just in time for fall. For any gardening questions with your project visit extension.umn.edu
