from Good Growing Hosted by Chris Enroth
On this week’s Good Growing podcast, horticulture educator Martha Smith joins to talk about spring-blooming bulbs. With so many to pick from where does a beginner start? Martha gives some good bulbs for beginners and her favorites she has growing in her landscape. Plus, tips on how to plant them and keep the critters away. Plus listener questions: What do we recommend for a homeowner to incorporate more flowering plants in their lawn that can be mowed? How do you overwinter canna lily and calla lilies? What is the best way to prepare a landscape bed now in the fall for planting in the spring? What’s the deal with all these clouds of whiteflies in the yard? Is tomato season over? Should we pull tomatoes off the plant now and save the green ones for fried green tomatoes? Is fall the time to move lilies or should we wait until spring?
