Angela Asks About Cut Flowers for Part Shade

In this episode, I introduce a new format that includes answering listener questions in addition to the usual lecture-style content.

First, I discuss important gardening tasks for the week, such as transplanting brassicas, lettuce, and cool-season flowers like snapdragons and pansies. I also emphasize the need for consistent watering despite cooler temperatures.

Next, I address Angela's question about growing cut flowers in partial shade, providing detailed recommendations on suitable perennials and annuals, including oak leaf hydrangeas and dianthus.
