Gardening tips for June in Minnesota

The U.S. Drought Monitor reported last week that Minnesota’s percentage of “abnormally dry” areas expanded from 73 to 100 percent, leaving the state with a deepening drought.

So, what does this mean for plants?

Thursday, two experienced gardeners joined MPR News host Kerri Miller to talk all things gardening, give advice about how to grow and manage a garden in this kind of weather, and answer questions from listeners.

Guests:

• Catherine Grant is the biology department greenhouse manager at the University of St. Thomas.

• Julie Weisenhorn is an extension educator and an extension associate professor at the University of Minnesota’s Department of Horticultural Science.
