It's Spring; time to get out in the garden The calendar says it
is April, but the weather has been a little chilly. In spite of
this, the gardeners in Ferron are ready to go. Utah State
University County Extension Agent Dennis Worwood conducted a
gardening workshop recently in the Ferron Library. Workshop
goers were welcome to ask questions about their special
gardening questions and how to address conditions specific for
Emery County garden growers. Worwood explained the Utah State
University Website (http://extension.usu.edu/) and what a
resource it can be for all types of gardening questions in all
types of soils. The website lists all types of vegetables and
how to plant them and take care of them throughout the season.
It also has listings for fruit trees and their care. Another
important aspect of gardening is pest control and the website
lists different pests and methods of control and when to spray
and treat your plants. Worwood said the website is a very
valuable tool in learning more about gardening
