Believe it or not, Spring is right around the corner, which means it is time to start cleaning your home! Everything from clothes, to furniture and yes, even your old bills. So, what do you need to keep and what needs to go?

New year, new committees. If this is the first time you have been on a community board or you are seasoned and just want a refresher, this is the series for you!

One of Johnson County Extension Crowd Favorites is the 4-H Food Fare. Seeing all the 4-Her's preparing different foods and getting to try all the different cuisine is always a joy, but this year it obviously has to look different. Come see what our kids did to keep the food spirit going.

As the weather warms, the sap starts to flow and so does the urge to prune. Learn more about where to make the cut, resulting in beautiful plants that add beauty and value to the landscape.

Hydrangeas are a popular shrub but misunderstood plant. Knowing when to prune depends on the species and how it blooms. Read what you need to know for bold and beautiful blooms this summer.

The big, bold pink or blue blooms are irresistible, which leads to many people attempting to grow Hydrangea macrophylla. But frequently, our weather patterns in the Kansas City area are not conducive.

Spring is almost here. This month learn more about the advantages of joining a Community Supported Agriculture, or a CSA, for locally grown produce. Also, find out how to support our pollinators by incorporating natives into the landscape.

Gardening and growing your own food is great, but a lot of that goodness comes from preparation. Now is the time to start prepping your soil and gardens, as the weather starts getting warmer.

One of the many resources K-State has for farmers and landowners needing to make farm business decisions is a website called “Ag Manager”. The site is a comprehensive source of information, analysis, and decision-making tools for agricultural producers, agribusinesses, and others. Topics presented include crop and livestock marketing and outlook reports, crop insurance, agricultural policy, income tax and law, etc. Several topics include features that are updated weekly, encouraging repeat visits to the site and also contains decision-making tools, such as budget spreadsheets, and data sets. You can sign up to receive a weekly e-mail reminder of updates to the site.

The Johnson County Extension Office is open. For the safety of our staff, volunteers and public please set up an appointment so we can take additional precautions for you and our staff. Face to face programming has been restricted until March 31, 2021. Virtual programming will be a continued offer.
