UConn Wants to Help You With Your Growing Problems!

Rising food prices find many Connecticut residents growing their own vegetables, herbs and fruits. Some food plants are quite easy and rewarding to grow while others can be more challenging due to site and soil conditions, pest problems or weather. If you have questions concerning your gardening endeavors, we can help. Call the UCONN Home & Garden Education Center (toll-free) at 877.486.6271, visit our website, www.ladybug.uconn.edu or contact your local Cooperative Extension Center for expert advice and the latest, up-to-date gardening information.
