It’s a tiny thing with a Mickey Mouse name (“M-Y-C,”
“O-R-R,”
“H-I-Z-A-E”). But on “Gardening in Georgia”
July 20 and 22, host
Walter Reeves puts the spotlight on this helpful fungus.

Reeves visits with Don Marx, who shows how mycorrhizae help
tree roots absorb water
they couldn’t get otherwise.

It’s time, too, for another trip to the vegetable garden at
the University of Georgia’s
Griffin campus. The corn is just about as tall as an elephant’s
eye, and Reeves gets
eyeball to eyeball with a tomato hornworm.

Finally, if you have lots of earth to turn, you’ve probably
thought about buying a
tiller. Reeves demonstrates three of the tillers that are
commonly available.

Don’t miss “Gardening in Georgia” Thursdays at 7:30
p.m. or Saturdays at 10
a.m. on Georgia Public Television. The show is designed
especially for Georgia gardeners.

“Gardening in Georgia” is produced by the University
of Georgia College of
Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and GPTV.
