Do you have a tree in your yard that looks like it needs some extra TLC? For some good tree care tips, Modern Gardener visited TreeUtah, a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve Utah’s quality of life through tree planting, stewardship, and education. Nicholas Dankers, who is a certified arborist by the International Society of Arboriculture, is the Planting Coordinator at TreeUtah, and we asked Nicholas about the basics of caring for the trees on your property. He explained that it’s all about balance.

We met with Katie Wagner, Utah State University Extension professor and master gardener, to get down to the nitty gritty of companion planting.

This weekend I decided to try making this fall favorite the *correct* way 😉 by cutting into a sugar pumpkin, seeding it, then roasting, peeling and puréeing this creamy and sweet pumpkin variety. The result for the extra effort? It was really delicious! And the house smelled great! But the texture definitely wasn’t as smooth and custardy as the canned pumpkin pies I’m used to. Do you make pumpkin pies from your garden? What’s your favorite variety of pumpkin to use? Any tips on achieving the perfect texture? Tell us in the comments below!👇🍁 . . . . #omg👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 #kued #PBS #gardening #pumpkinpie #pumpkin
