Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Solving the mystery of a wounded tree
Q: Jesse asks about lilies and provides photos of onions and a pineapple plant; what are some takeaways for homeowner gardeners who share their progress?
Listener submissions illustrate how diverse home gardening can be, from flowering perennials to kitchen garden harvests and even indoor fruiting plants; the host uses these prompts to discuss practical, region-specific tips and to encourage sharing photos for feedback.
Late-season digging and dividing your irises and peonies
Q: When is the best time to divide irises and peonies?
Iris is best divided in late August to early September, peonies around Labor Day in early September, with the exact timing tied to the bloom cycle and the goal of avoiding disturbance during active flowering.
A preview of the upcoming Red River Valley Garden Tour and some tips for potato blight
Q: What kind of fertilizer should I use and how often?
Use an organic fertilizer if possible, apply about once a week to every couple of weeks, especially since containers can wash out fertilizers with frequent watering.
The basics of spring planting
Q: What are your tips for planting a tree when you bring it home from the garden center?
Water the tree well to hydrate the roots, then remove the pot carefully, place it in a hole twice as wide as the root ball (but only as deep as the root system), recheck depth using the trunk flare, and backfill with native soil while watering to settle the soil.
What would the fair be without 4-H?
Q: How do clubs work and how is 4-H organized in Cass County?
Cass County has 16 clubs with a mix of small and large groups; clubs meet monthly and are run by volunteers who provide education and activities across project areas, fostering a community-wide 4-H network.
