July is a very active time in the garden in Transylvania County. The fruit and vegetable plants start producing, the annual flowers bloom beautifully and the summer-flowering trees and shrubs are in their glory. July is also when the garden pests, diseases, and weeds are coming on strong, so now is not the time to let the scouting and maintenance slide.

To help you keep up with all that is going on, we’ve compiled a list of gardening tasks to do now with links for more information on each topic. If you have questions or need more information, please contact N.C. Cooperative Extension, Transylvania County Center, at 828.884.3109 or send us an email.
