It’s hard to think about frost on the pumpkin when summer’s
just heating up. But it’s
time to consider these traditional fall fruits. Jack-o’-lanterns
take a long time to grow.

On “Gardening in Georgia” June 29 and July 1, host
Walter Reeves visits with
horticulturist Terry Kelley on how and when to plant pumpkins so
they’ll be ready for
Halloween.

Walter will check on the summer vegetable garden, too. He’ll
review the difference
between male and female squash blossoms. And he’ll explain why
it’s best to plant corn in
a block rather than in rows.

Finally, Walter will show how to make a hood for your garden
sprayer so your weed
killer gets on your weeds, not on your good plants.
