The Growing Season, Sept. 28, 2024 - 5 Year Anniversary

“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!It’s that time of year again. The Growing Season celebrates 5 years on the airwaves by highlighting what they’ve learned over the last year in horticulture. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland discuss the weather. Rain, rain, rain and more rain kick off the show. The GTA set records for precipitation this past summer so it’s fitting that precipitation is where we start. Pasta. Matt talks about pasta. What? Are cedars easy to transplant?  Not so much. Matt explains his thoughts on the subject. What measures have those in control of flood mitigation taken to prevent catastrophe with regards to excessive water events? Pavement doesn’t absorb water…With all this rain, will grub infestations be on the rise?  The trio talk about nematodes and how to use them to fight grubs. Ants, worms, mosquitoes and cockroaches come into focus. Will it be a green Christmas this year?  The McFarlands use history to assess the chances. Sustainable design comes up and Matt rants. Colorado Blue Spruce and Austrian Pine are aging all over the GTA. Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property?  We'd love to help.  CLICK HERE.What is a TGS Tiny Garden? CLICK HERE.
