It’s been a season of change, celebration, and fresh beginnings across the Reno-Tahoe region. A beloved Incline Village restaurant is planting roots in Midtown Reno, a new shabu shabu spot is bubbling up in Downtown Reno, and several local favorites are making news with relocations, anniversaries, new concepts, and well-earned retirements.
 
We’re also celebrating the flavors of summer, from sweet melon memories and farm-fresh finds to smart tips for handling unwelcome visitors in your garden and a fresh perspective on what makes “ugly” produce worth savoring.
 
Plus, enjoy a duo of delicious corn recipes and a roundup of can’t-miss local events to help you make the most of mid-July.

HUNGRY INVADERS

One day, your vegetable garden is flourishing with young, green plants. The next day, it’s been decimated by some unseen force. Whether your garden is in the middle of the city or flush against the foothills, no gardener is completely immune to the ravages of rodents and other critters.
