A Peek Behind the Scenes: Student Check-In3 Sept18 min

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
