Just in time for your 2022 garden: New Extension Yard and Garden resources
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXTENSION - www.extension.umn.edu
The Extension horticulture team has been hard at work creating new resources for home gardeners and professionals alike. We hope you find these new web pages and videos helpful as you get busy in Minnesota landscapes!
Annual flowers
Find new web pages on your favorite annuals courtesy of Nate Dalman and Esther Johnson. They oversee the UMN Display Garden and the flower trials at the West Central Research and Outreach Center in Morris, Minn.
Trees and shrubs for pollinators
Most people think of herbaceous perennials when they think of pollinator plants, but we have great trees and shrubs that provide nectar, pollen and shelter for pollinating insects. Look for pollinator-friendly plants when you shop garden centers, plant sales, nurseries and seeds this season.
Growing edible container gardens (video)
Available in English and Spanish, watch and learn as Extension Educator Natalie Hoidal demonstrates planning, planting, and caring for containers of edible plants.
Common insects on vegetable crops
Information on cabbage and squash crops including printable cropping calendars. Find out more about managing striped cucumber beetle, squash bug and squash vine borer.
Pruning hydrangeas for best bloom
Pruning time is upon us for many of our landscape plants. Hydrangeas improve bloom and form with proper pruning.
