Garden Solutions

Yes, folks, spring will be here and we will be able to plant our gardens!  Along with the beauty of the flowers and the taste of fresh vegetables, there can be some frustrations. Snails like your strawberries as well as you do. Weeds can threaten to take over the flower garden. Those beautiful red tomatoes can develop an ugly blossom end rot. Your plants may just sit and refuse to grow or produce. These and other problems can take the fun out of growing flowers and vegetables. Should you just quit before you start? Of course not! McCracken County Master Gardeners can provide answers to your garden problems and questions. So, you may ask, how can you contact a Master Gardener?

You can post your question on the Purchase Area MasterGardener Association Facebook page.

Email your question to McCCMGA@gmail. com
or
You can call the Hort Line at 270-554-9520; leave your name, telephone number and the nature of your problem. A Master Gardener will return your call.


Now, just sit back, relax and wait for the snow to melt and the ground to thaw. Soon enough you will
be as busy as a bee planting, watering, weeding and harvesting.
