The Garden Thyme Podcast
04/10/20 • 51 min
Hi Listener,
We hope you and your family are safe during this difficult time. Our April episode ended up being rather lengthy, so we decide to turn it into two episodes. So this month you will get twice the Garden Hoes.
In this episode, we welcome a special guest, Dr. Nicole Fiorellino, to give us the "dirt" on the soil. We also discussed the "how to's" on planting trees, shrubs, and perennials (30:00).
- Here is a link to the Home and Garden Information Center webpage about soil testing.

The Orchid Extravaganza is currently run at Longwood Garden until March 22. You can find out more information about it and the garden at longwoodgardens.org. To see pictures of Greg's favorite orchid and other orchids at the Longwood Gardens display, check out the Garden Hoes Podcast Facebook page or our photo drive here.
