For those of you who weren't able to attend, here's a list of the Top 10 Gardening Mistakes (in the order presented, not necessarily in order of importance): 1. Over watering 2. Over fertilizing 3. Misusing pesticides 4. Improperly identifying a plant problem 5. Using plants that are unproductive and/or poorly adapted to your area 6. Planting the right plant in the wrong place 7. Failing to prepare the soil before planting (probably the #1 mistake, according to Doug) 8. Failing to use mulch 9. Planting at the wrong time 10. Failing to think long term Thanks to the Brazos County Master Gardeners and Doug Welsh for putting this lecture on. Both are great resources for our county. Another great lecture!
