Episode 10: Cool Season Salad Greens

This week we’ll be talking about leaf miners. In my experience, I have found that leaf miners are more of an issue in the late spring and early summer, but many people have been asking about them in response to photos I have been posting of my beet greens on our various social media accounts so I wanted to go ahead and talk about them now in the late summer, because realistically, they can be a problem just about any time during the season.
