The LSU AgCenter offers a series of guides
with tips on growing better vegetables.
The free guides located on the AgCenter
website, provide information on selecting varieties that grow well in Louisiana
and in the amount of space and soil type in individual gardens. Tips on when
and how to plant and fertilize are included, along with remedies for common
insect, disease and weed problems and advice on harvesting and storing
vegetables.
Guides are available on beans, cabbage, corn, cucumbers,
eggplants, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, squash, strawberries, tomatoes, onions,
shallots and garlic.
“These guides are a great resource for both new and
experienced gardeners,” said Melanie
Lewis Ivey, an AgCenter plant pathologist. “We are continually updating the
guides with new varieties and sustainable, earth-friendly practices for
managing unwanted pests in the garden.”
The files can be downloaded at www.lsuagcenter.com and putting vegetable
gardening tips in the search box.
