Debris, trash, and oil tanks along both sides of a bridge over Hoadley Pond in Seymour, Connecticut. August 19, 2024. Onlookers say the water came up and over the bridge as intense rainfall flooded towns in parts of New Haven, Litchfield and Fairfield counties the day before.

It’s been a summer with all kinds of weather. We’ve seen flooding, and high heat putting our gardens through all sorts of chaos. Today, horticulturist Charlie Nardozzi joins us to talk about this hot, cold, wet, dry, stormy, sunny, chaotic gardening year!

It’s not too late to start planting your fall crops. We hear what plants could thrive this season as autumn rapidly approaches.

August is Tree Check Month. We learn what you can do to preserve the trees where you live. Although spring gardening might feel ages away, it’s also a good time to think about starting a community garden!
