             Soil testing in home gardens IDs nutrient, organic matter & pH levels, helping you choose the right fertilizers and amendments for healthier plants and better yields. Fall is ideal, allowing time to apply amendments before next growing season. Details:  https://t.co/YILKYdaA8L

             Veggies like tomatoes and squash need to be harvested before the first frost, as freezing temps kill the plants. Others, like kale and carrots, can develop a better flavor after a frost.

             Once the first frost hits, it's time to overwinter tender perennials. Cut back the foliage, carefully dig up and clean the bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, etc., allow them to dry, and store in a cool, dark, and dry location.

             First thing every grower and agronomist looks at this year?โฆ southern rust rating. Itโs important, but thereโs other stresses that we get every year that are more important (wet feet tolerance, emergence, yield, stalk quality, etc.) 
           This seasonโs conditions were perfect for extreme southern rustโunfortunately. Managing this disease will be top of mind heading into 2026.
