Gardening Advice for Fall Planting and Powdery Mildew

community · September 2018

Gardening tips include planting perennials in fall for better establishment, preparing beds for fall and winter crops, and advice on managing powdery mildew by leaving it alone as fruits mature. Reference to Linda Gilkeson's gardening blog is suggested.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
