FILE - Roses appear in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, on Aug. 22, 2020.

It’s the most popular hobby in the world, even in the heat of Nevada.

Gardening is bound to become even more popular — economists say tariffs will increase vegetable prices from Mexico and Canada. In 2022, the USDA said the two countries provide well over 50% of the country’s fruit and vegetables.

Because most Nevadans are from other states, we have many questions about successful gardening in the high desert. Norm Schilling and Angela O’Callaghan have forgotten more about gardening than most of us will ever know. And they’re here to answer most, if not all of your questions on Wednesday.
