2008 Year in Review

Watch Your Garden Grow Site Updated

A popular University of Illinois Extension website that serves as a guide to growing, storing, and preparing vegetables has been updated.

And, added Jane Scherer, U of I Extension urban programs specialist and director of web programming, it is also now available in Spanish.

Watch Your Garden Grow was developed by Ron Wolford, U of I Extension horticulture educator, and Drusilla Banks, a U of I Extension specialist in food science and nutrition programming.

Among the changes is a glossary that provides definitions for terms often encountered by gardeners.

The site covers the basics of vegetable gardening, where to plant a garden, disease and pest problems, and a directory of vegetables.
