The Growing Season, April 27, 2024 - The Colour Series: Yellow 2024

04/27/24 • 53 min

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland steer this week's episode of The Growing Season into all things Yellow.
The Growing Season's Colour Series continues with a colour that tends to be a divisive topic amongst gardeners.
Are you a fan of the colour yellow? Do you dislike it? If so, why?
Many of the heavy hitters in a yellow variety feature: Dandelions, witch hazel, forsythia, daylily, tickseed, black eyed susie.
Matt detests forsythia and he explains why.
The trio discuss the loveliness of Japanese Kerria. IT IS THE BEST.
Yellow hostas are a subject of discussion to great effect.
Matt plays "imagine, if you will" with Jack. They step back in the mid 1980's.
