Farmer's Market scheduled for Friday, July 5

The beginning of summer in east Texas never sneaks up on us and this year certainly has made that statement true.† Before the first official day of summer we saw record heat and the wave of grasshoppers descend on the Northeast Texas Community College garden.

There are several things you can try to prevent total annihilation of your vegetable plants. The first is Garlic Spray. The smell of the stuff will repel grasshoppers and send them packing. There is also Nosema Locustae. It is a natural microbe that can be used as a bait for grasshoppers.
