Nothing spices up summer foods like fresh herbs from the garden. KUNC gardener Tom Throgmorton has more on how to get the best out of your herb garden both now and later.

Our temperatures have rocketed from a cool, moist early June to July temperatures.  Plants can’t go to the basement or turn on the air conditioning.  Many may start suffering from the heat.  And different plants react differently to heat stress.

June has been a challenging month for the folks at Native Hill Farm.  Overnight they went from having a bountiful crop to having a mess to clean up.

I see why folks want to be a June bride.  The flowers in June are prolific.  And the new plant growth is vibrant green.

The results of new studies show organic agriculture has grown by 20% a year for the past few years.  There are good reasons that this growth will continue.
