Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to prune oakleaf hydrangeas
Q: My oak leaf hydrangeas are beautiful, but they have grown so large, they're overtaking their beds. Do I prune them now in the fall, wait until the spring, or wait until after they bloom next summer?
Wait to prune them until after they bloom next year, because oak leaf hydrangeas bloom on old growth and have already formed their flower buds for the next season; light spring pruning for winter dieback is okay, but the bulk of pruning should be after flowering to avoid sacrificing flowers.
Sharp tools, warm hearts, as gardeners prepare for winter’s rest
Q: What do you do?
The hosts explain that they store tools in a garage but emphasize cleaning, disassembly when possible, sharpening, rust removal, and using linseed oil to extend tool life.
How to clean up your garden and protect pollinators
Q: Emma, in the fall, we were talking about leave the leaves and save the stems and seeds for the birds. But what do we do now? Do we cut that stuff back?
The approach depends on your goals. If you want a very tidy garden, you can continue cutting back, but leaving some stems up creates nesting habitat for solitary bees. Either partially leave or trim to promote habitat, and you can still have a neat look as the plants grow back.
How to keep potted herbs from the grocery store alive
Q: So what do we need to do to be successful?
Focus on proper watering, manage humidity with simple methods like humidifiers or water trays, maximize light with bright spots or grow lights, and select herbs that adapt well to indoor life, keeping expectations realistic about which ones will thrive long-term.
Are DIY fertilizers the secret to healthier garden soil?
Q: Okay. And what about things like banana peels?
Banana peels contain potassium but aren't readily available to plants in that form; they need to be broken down by soil microbes and require nitrogen to do so, so it's better to compost them first and then add the finished compost to the garden.
