From the Editor;

Summer weather came early this year and heat and water are on most gardeners’ minds. If you don’t believe that deep infrequent applications of water are better than a little bit every day, try the activity in “Gardening with Kiddos”. Read “Veggin with Elmer” for information on heat beating ways to start your fall garden. “Safety Tips” is a must read to help making gardening incident free. This issue also has articles on plants, always interesting to gardeners, pests, always present in gardens, and more. We want you to garden safely, responsibly, and have fun this summer.

Reminder-The 2nd annual Brazos County Master Gardeners Fall Plant Sale is September 26th.
Check the calendar on our renovated website at www.brazosmg.com . We will continue to add new features and information, so visit it often.

We invite your comments and suggestions. Contact us
