The Bucks County Master Gardeners are hosting the free, live webinar “Anticipating What’s Coming Next to Your Garden Using ‘Growing Degree Days’ and Soil Temperature” on Friday, March 26, from noon to 1 p.m.
This event will help home gardeners predict the perfect time to start seeds outdoors, plant outdoors, and know exactly when to expect garden pests like insects and weeds. It seems like magic, but it’s science.
“Growing Degree Days” allow home gardeners to manage their gardens, lawns and trees less expensively and with less damage to the environment. GDDs can help gardeners get ahead of insect pests like azalea lace bug, Japanese beetle, Spotted lanternfly, bagworm and grubs, as well as summer annual weeds, crabgrass, Japanese stiltgrass, nutsedge and more.
The event includes the opportunity to ask questions of the Penn State Master Gardeners of Bucks County. Register at extension.psu.edu/gdd-bucks by Thursday, March 25.
