Dr. Chris Cooper Gives Guidance on Gardening in Memphis

Dr. Chris Cooper gave a great presentation on how to prepare our gardens this Spring.
He emphasized the need to clean out your garden so you aren’t riddled with bugs this season.
He recommended getting your soil tested. You can go to the UT Extension Office at the Agricenter at 7777 Walnut Grove Road, Wing B for a kit. For $7, you will get a detailed report on how to optimize your soil for the specific plants you are growing.
Dr. Cooper pointed out that some vegetables need to be in the ground now, including beets, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, collards, lettuce, onions, peas, radishes, and turnips. You can visit www.utextension.utk.edu for more details.
