Master Gardener Week 5

February 19, 2009 was the Week 5 meeting of the master gardener class at Boerner.

The topic was fruits.

The emphasis was on the fruits most often grown in Wisconsin (apples, pears, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, cherries, etc.)

Exotic fruits like medlars were not covered.

The laboratory exercise was investigating questions about fruits using the many UW-Extension bulletins. Our table studied cherries, and my question was on diseases of cherries (e.g., black knot fungus).
