July 2024 ACES: Varieties and pest control
Grow More Videos – July 2024
As mentioned in the newsletter in April and May, I will spend some time introducing you to the wide-reaching range of topics that ACES has prepared to help us all become better gardeners.
Over the next few months, we will break our topics into three categories:
- Initial preparation of the garden
- What to plant and control of insects
- Growing and harvesting
The topics for this month will deal with what to plant and insect control in your garden. They will cover topics such as varieties for disease resistance, heirloom plantings, control of insects and fire ants, etc.
