Lake Effect | Jul 19, 2012
Even with a break in the heat wave, the summer continues to be one to remember for its record-high temperatures and extended drought. And even if – by this time next year – we have forgotten, our plants may still be reeling from the effects of this summer.
Melinda Myers is our regular gardening contributor. She’s written numerous books on gardening – but, in a past life, she was the City of Milwaukee’s Assistant City Forester. So she and Lake Effect’s Mitch Teich start this month’s conversation with another pressing concern – the news that the invasive Emerald Ash Borer has been found in trees within the City of Milwaukee.
Myers is the author of numerous books on gardening, including Month-by-Month Gardening in Wisconsin. She’s also host of “Melinda’s Garden Moments” on television. Melinda is also hosting a series of walks at Boerner Botanical Gardens throughout the summer and fall.
