As summer winds down, watering, weeding and harvesting move to the top of the garden to-do list. Even though it may seem like we’re moving into the off season, there are plenty of gardening tasks for August that will keep your flowers and vegetables growing longer. On “Conversations Live: Get Your Garden On!” Patty Satalia and guests Tom Butzler and John Esslinger, horticulture educators with Penn State’s Cooperative Extension, will provide tips to help you get a head start on next year’s garden plans.
Tom Butzler is a Horticulture Extension Educator in central Pennsylvania. Butzler has been teaching beekeeping classes to youth and adults for over 15 years and developed Penn State Extension’s first online beekeeping course.
John Esslinger also is a horticulture educator, working with Penn State Extension in northeastern Pennsylvania since 1995. He focuses on the topics of fruit, vegetable and greenhouse production.
According to a recent report, we place too much emphasis on a college education as the single pathway to success. Some say that career and vocational training can also lead to a middle class paycheck. How can we help students find the right educational experience for them?
Following the premier of A Time to Heal, the WPSU community was invited to participate in a live broadcast discussion about the documentary and memories and thoughts about how the Vietnam War redefined American attitudes and pop culture.
Fall gardening is here. There’s plenty to do to get ready for winter. Everything from canning the vegetables you grew to putting your garden to bed. We talk with Penn State horticulture experts on gardening and preserving.
