WSU Extension Yakima published several gardening tips this week for local residents. The updates include care instructions for irises after blooming, shade cloth recommendations for heat-stressed plants, earwig management, and soil health advice.
The tips were shared by Master Gardeners Melody Westmoreland, Phyllis Pugnetti, Laura Willett, and Caroline Crolley. Each column addresses common summer gardening challenges in Yakima's climate, such as excessive heat affecting plant health and pest management.
These resources are available on the WSU Extension Yakima website and provide practical advice for home gardeners in the Yakima Valley.
