Northeast Ohio gardeners answer questions as spring turns to summer

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

Ask a Gardener Temperatures have topped out in the upper 80s this week, and with that many have begun spending more time outside in their gardens. But how should a novice green thumb approach these wild temperature swings that we've been experiencing here in Northeast Ohio? Is it too late to put seedlings in the ground? Or too early to clear away leaf cover and other debris from your beds? Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas" we once again invite several Northeast Ohio expert gardeners into the studio to answer your questions, as well as give suggestions on how to improve your outside spaces. We'll learn more about what native plants will thrive in sun or shade, how to support pollinators that call Northeast Ohio home and how to get the most out of the fruit and vegetable crops this year. Guests: - Dave Tomashefski, Co-owner, Meadow City Native Plant Nursery - Richard Rouser, Co-owner, Gales Garden Center - Kim Hawkins, Volunteer, Ohio State University Master Gardener Program - Ibrahim Jones, Garden Manager, Cleveland Roots
