Episode 77

Gardening with Children, Flowers, Tree Trimming, Panicled Hydrangeas, and N-P-K

On this week's show, Nathan reiterates the importance of mentoring children in gardening activities. Education, health, and enjoyment are all important things to focus on when gardening with kids. Does your plant have perfect or imperfect flowers? It is monoecious or dioecious? These are important aspects to know when you hold high expectations for their performance. Utility companies are trimming trees along power lines and highways. Nathan discusses what kind of damage this can do to your largest plants. Panicled hydrangeas are the showstoppers of the garden right now and Nathan tells you why you should grow them and which ones are best for you! Lastly, are you familiar with the numbers on bags of fertilizers? Nathan let's you know what they mean, how they affect plant growth, and which combination of numbers is best for you!
