Green Thumb 2026 Gardening Series

ByJulie Fordes

Did You Know…

…that Green Thumb is an educational video series that is a collaboration between Harris County Library and Harris County Master Gardeners?  Here is the upcoming schedule and an in-depth look at June’s episode.

Beat the Heat

Despite the health benefits gained through gardening, gardeners are sometimes exposed to risks that could spoil our enjoyment of getting outside and growing our own food.  The June episode of Green Thumb, “Enemies in the Garden”, addressed many of these potential problems in depth.  I highly recommend you watch this video!! Go to the You Tube channel some too-hot afternoon and take a look at these helpful hints, you will be glad you did.

Just to follow up, at WCG, we have a first aid kit in the compost area section with the rakes and wheelbarrows.  You should find everything you need for minor issues. Also, take a look around the garden for charts on how to understand the progression of heat stroke in yourself or others.  Let’s stay safe out there, people!

    Black Rot Disease in Brassicas

    ByShelly & Roy

    What is it? Black rot is a bacterial infection that affects the vascular system of members of the Brassica (broccoli) family. It is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. Which plants are affected? All cruciferous crops are susceptible including arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage (including Chinese cabbage), cauliflower, collards, garden cress, kale, kohlrabi, mustard (including mizuna), radish, rutabaga, and turnip. NOT AFFECTED seems to be nasturtium (it must be far enough away on the family tree). Where did it come from? We don’t know the origin of our current outbreak. The bacterium infects all parts of host plants, including seeds, so it could have come in on a seed or on a commercial transplant. There are also some Brassica family weeds that can harbor it in the wild. Why is it such a problem now? We have had the perfect warm, humid weather for it to spread and multiply these past few months – temperature has been between 50-75,  it has been breezy and wet. It wasn’t until Wayne saw the same pattern on several of his plants that he brought it to Ray’s attention. We’ve probably been living with it for months without realizing it, which allowed it to spread widely. How is it spread?…
