Vance / Warren Garden Updates & Events


PATIO GARDENING SEMINAR, SATURDAY, 5/23
Come on out to the Vance County Regional Farmers Market this Saturday, 5/23 at noon for a short seminar on Patio Gardening! Taught by one of our Extension Master Gardener volunteers, you will learn all the tips and tricks to successfully growing vegetables in containers on your deck on patio. Feel free to bring a lunch, beverage provided. 
REMEMBER TO TIP AND TOSS
Scout your yard after a rain to look for any standing water. Mosquitos can breed even in very small amounts of water, including dishes under flower pots. 
WEED CONTROL REMINDER
Many lawn and garden herbicides do not work well in hot and dry conditions. Be sure to read labels carefully to get the results you want!
SHOPPING FOR PESTICIDES? LOOK FOR PRE-MIXED PRODUCTS
Whether you need an insecticide, herbicide or fungicide, pre-mixed products (also called “Ready to Use”) have many advantages. There’s no mixing, which reduces the risk of spills and skin exposure. Plus, you will likely use it up quickly, eliminating the need to store a potentially toxic chemical.
