Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Garden Hotline with Michelle Reasor-West and Jean Ponzi - March 7th, 2026
Q: Are red twig dogwood cuttings best propagated in water or soil, and should I use rooting hormone?
Propagation is generally more reliable in soil rather than water for woody cuttings; you can use rooting hormone on the cut ends and plant in soil, ensuring the ends are split or scored to encourage rooting.
Garden Hotline with Michelle Reasor-West and Jean Ponzi - March 7th, 2026
Q: Is it okay to prune boxwoods now or should I wait for dormancy to end?
Prune evergreen shrubs like boxwoods after they have broken dormancy and when temperatures are more stable to avoid encouraging new growth that could be damaged by late frosts; wait a bit longer if temperatures are fluctuating.
Garden Hotline with Michelle Reasor-West and Jean Ponzi - March 7th, 2026
Q: What should I do to manage nutsedge, and is pre-emergent effective for it?
Nutsedge is best tackled by digging out young plants to remove the nutlets, using a spade to get as much root as possible, and avoiding heavy tilling; there is no effective pre-emergent for nutsedge, so focus on mechanical removal and soil management.
