Roses are one of my favorite plants in my landscape and you can find so many different types that you can have many color combinations and growth habits. However, some of these roses may need extra care in the winter for the best survival.
Local Interest
Are you interested in growing produce and selling at farmer’s markets, direct consumer sales or with Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) groups? Here is your chance to gain valuable information from Nebraska Extension educators and fellow growers across four different locations in Nebraska in September and October.
It is already October, which is hard to believe. October is a great month for many things outdoors, and some slightly less fun things to encounter while outdoors.
Fall is my favorite season of the year. The weather is much more enjoyable, the trees turn fantastic colors, and football begins again. With all the fun of fall, however, comes the not so enjoyable entry of insects into our homes. Many household pests that we see most often in the fall coming into our homes for warmth and food are boxelder bugs, Asian multicolored ladybeetles, and spiders. Occasionally, we also find crickets, centipedes, millipedes, and some stink bugs.
Deciding on the correct price for your hay bales can be a challenging task for forage producers. The price of a bale of hay depends on several crucial factors, with bale weight and nutrient content standing out as the most significant. Additionally, the type of hay you are selling, whether it's alfalfa, corn stalk, or meadow grass, also determines its value.
Evenings are finally starting to be more enjoyable, maybe even a little chilly, which means fall is coming! Fall is one of my favorite seasons for so many reasons, including fall color that can be so amazing in our landscapes. It is sometimes hard to get good fall color in Nebraska, but when we do get good fall color, it is worth the wait.
