08/19/15 - Join us for Wednesday’s Topical Currents, when we’re “At Your Service” on South Florida gardening.

A sub-tropical climate often calls for different tactics than those “up north.” For example, sandy soils needs organic matter added for best growth. And September is the best time to start tomatoes. We’ll have Master Gardeners on hand for suggestions . . . and your questions. Guests: John Pipoly, Urban Horticulture and Natural Resources Extension Agent, Broward County Parks and Recreation; and Teri Goldsmith, President, Florida Master Gardeners of Broward County. That’s Topical Currents “At Your Service” . .. Wednesday at 1pm.
