Mid-American Gardener: Surviving frost Damage!

 

Following the stay at home order issued in the state of Illinois, the MAG team turned to Zoom to bring you a lot of the great gardening information they normally provide you from our studios. Check out some of these episodes from this past June, and be sure to also check out some of our recent Facebook Lives which can be accessed from the Mid-American Gardener facebook page

We also show you some DIY options for making recyclable garden hotcaps that won’t hurt your budget!

Plus…we’ll discuss some ways to help your plants survive the frost, or how you can try to save them if they don’t…

If you have questions (send photos if you have them!), we’ve got you covered. Send questions to yourgarden@gmail.com, post them on Facebook, or leave us a voicemail at (217) 300-8224. We just might look to include them in a future show or podcast!

Plus, you can now follow us on Instagram!
