Discussion

The amount of pollen in the air for Tuesday will be greater than today's levels and extend even further into the extremely high range. This increase is due to higher temperatures and windy conditions. If you have these allergies, tomorrow will likely be more difficult outdoors.

Allergy Facts

The greatest danger to allergy sufferers in the garden is not pollen from ornamental plants, it is mold that can grow on the surface of the dirt. When soil is disturbed by digging or weeding, mold spores are released into the air. To avoid undue exposure to mold, gardeners sensitive to mold should not dig just after it rains, when mold is at its peak.
