"Advice to Grow by... Ask us!" 
Hotline: (858) 822-6910 
This ever-popular event is Sat., Sept. 18 and will feature 15 Carlsbad gardens, including a community garden, and the Master Gardener Demo Garden at the Flower Fields.
As this could be our hottest month, take care of yourself, not just your plants, when you’re gardening.  
If you live inland, you might get in one more round of summer veggies, and if you live on the coast, you can start your fall veggie seeds.
