The past month has been hard for us gardeners! It has been bitterly cold with so much snow it seems that it will never melt. A good way to keep your green thumb working is to grow plants indoors. You can grow houseplants or herbs year-round inside.
We really saw a lot of snow this past week. I know not all people appreciate snow as much as others. It makes travel difficult and is accompanied by very cold temperatures, and also, in some cases, our plants don’t appreciate it either. On the other hand, there are some plant benefits to all this snow.
In 2023, the soybean gall midge was reported in eight new counties—two in Kansas and six in Iowa, bringing the total documented counties in the United States to 164. This "field edge pest" was initially observed in Nebraska in 2011, and it was formally identified as a new soybean pest in 2019.
Help Extension get to know our community so we can serve your better by answering just 4 questions.
