Two excellent GVST Gardening Essentials sessions on Monday. First up was "It's Hot, Now What" with David Rodriguez Texas Agrilife horticulturist, Dr. Jerry Parsons, Dr. Calvin Finch, and Dr. Tom Harris as moderator. Excellent advice on plants that can take the heat. Did you know Esperanza and Hamelia Firebush can be planted on the hottest, driest days and not miss a beat? In our second session Dr. Connie Sheppard from Texas Agrilife demonstrated two summer salads and gave us an update on food safety. With so many reports of foodborne illnesses her tips and recommended resources were a hit with the audience!
