Cucumbers and tomatoes are among the many summer season vegetables that have been planted by Ohio gardeners.

There isn't anything much better than eating and cooking with the produce you grew in your backyard.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, basil and strawberries are all things that Ohio gardeners have planted. But with gardening comes a lot of un-answered questions.

Is what you grew in your backyard safe from the parasite causing stomach distress? How can you keep deer from eating your entire garden? How often should you be watering with the ever-changing heat extremes?

Plus, native gardening has grown from a niche practice to a mainstream trend.

What native plants should you add to your yard to attract bees and butterflies and help the environment?

Gardening experts will answer your questions on this hour of All Sides.
