It’s more than a garden, but less than a farm. It’s a “farmden”! Our guest in this episode describes it “as a site with more plants and/or land than one person can care for sanely. A gardener and garden gone wild, out of control.”

When it comes to watering plants, there’s really only three options - too much, too little, or just right … but there’s the rub.  Just like with light and temperature requirements, all plants are different.  Some plants, like succulents, can get by with pretty dry soil and some aquatic plants literally live in water.  There’s a whole spectrum of water needs in between.

In this episode we’re going to take a look at probably one of the most important aspects of gardening.  Previously, we discussed lighting and how your climate effect the types of plants you can grow in your landscape or garden.  Now we’re getting into actually caring for your plants, and the biggest aspect of growing plants is feeding them.  As with the previous topics, all plants are different, and they have different nutritional requirements.

Your local climate plays an important role in what plants you can grow.  It might also effects whether a plant can be grown as a perennial or annual.  In this episode, we explore what those terms mean and how it effects your garden.
