Larry Pfarr's Gardening Tips from the Fair

Bachman's home and garden expert Larry Pfarr offers some advise to your gardening questions from the Minnesota State Fair.

Rebecca from Golden Valley: How can I make my garden mums last longer into the fall?

Jay from Minneapolis: I've heard you can add coffee grounds to the soil in your garden. Is this true and what does it does?

Betsy from St. Louis Park: What is the white plant that I see behind you and everyone else during the fair?

Tracy from Farmington: She has a lot of green tomatoes but none of them are ripening. Is there anything she can do?

Beth from Blaine: Last year, several of my evergreens and rhododendrons died during the winter. What can she do now to save them so they look good next spring?

Ron from Forest Lake: Besides mums what else would look good in my yard this fall?
