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.

Light is essential for all life on Earth.  Without the fusion energy of our Sun and photosynthesis, the Earth would be a lifeless rock.  When it comes to growing plants, choosing the right plants for your lighting conditions is one of the most important things to consider.

In the garden, seed is everything. Seeds represent potential, hope, and rebirth.  Every gardener knows the feeling of sowing seeds in the garden, seeing them sprout, and nursing them along throughout the growing season. In this episode, we explore the basic science behind seeds. We’ll also hear from April Shelhon at Botanical Interests about how the seeds you find in packets at the store get there, and she’ll also share some tips on starting seeds at home.
