Your gardening season can be extended with these simple tips
KAYSVILLE, Utah — Recently, KSL Greenhouse Show hosts Taun Beddes and Maria Shilaos explored the best ways to extend your gardening season.
The two went to the Utah State University Botanical Gardens in Kaysville and visited with Sheridan Hansen, an assistant professor of horticultural, about ways to extend the gardening season in Utah, where our springs are notorious for unexpected shifts in weather.
