A Peek Behind the Scenes: Student Check-In
In this episode, I’m giving you a peek behind the scenes. Listen in as I check-in with my enrolled students to discuss what I’m working on in my own garden right now and what they should focus on as we transition into fall.
We’ll talk about:
Which tired perennials can still be cut back
How to encourage a possible fall rebloom from purple coneflower
When it’s time to pull out old zinnias
How to collect and scatter zinnia seeds for a fresh round of fall flowers
What I’m doing to keep my Halloween pumpkins growing
Why bush and semi-bush pumpkins perform better in my garden
How much to water annuals, vegetables and newer plantings
Why drip irrigation needs to run for hours, not minutes
Why you should continue fertilizing, even while it’s hot
The fall vegetables you need to start now before you miss the window
