Master Gardener Barbara Ray joined us recently on WCBL’s Coffee Call program. She says the hot, dry conditions won’t keep the pests away. One way she says you can treat your plants and keep the unwanted creatures away is to make a mixture of Dawn dish washing liquid, vegetable oil and water in a spray bottle and use that to spray on your plants. And Ray says right now is the best time to plant a fall garden. You can plant lettuce, broccoli, kale, squash and some others. She says you can keep it simple with a container garden, a raised bed or even a hanging basket for tomatoes.
