Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 Ep460: Better Lawns and Gardens - Hour 1 Summer Gardening June 27, 2026
Q: How do you use red volcanic rocks in the landscape, and are they beneficial?
They're not beneficial for soil health or plant growth; use organic mulch like wood instead, and if you already have the rocks, consider using them in a themed landscape or a fire pit, but don't rely on them for plant nutrition.
S2 Ep454: Better Lawns and Gardens - Hour 1 Best Father's Day Gifts For Gardeners June 6, 2026
Q: Is it too late to fertilize the lawn in Florida, and what fertilizer formulation is recommended?
It's not too late; Florida generally prohibits fertilizing from June 1 to September 31; when fertilizing, use a phosphorus-free mix like 15-0-15 after the window, and consider a soil test first to determine actual needs.
S2 Ep454: Better Lawns and Gardens - Hour 1 Best Father's Day Gifts For Gardeners June 6, 2026
Q: Tomato seeds: can heritage tomatoes reseed themselves in the ground, and how should the seeds be saved for next year?
Seeds can fall and reseed themselves; to save them, cut open the tomato, remove seeds, wash off the gel, pat dry, and store in an envelope with the type labeled, then plant again in August after proper drying.
S2 Ep449: Better Lawns and Gardens - Hour 2 New Encore Azaleas! May 9, 2026
Q: What is the best pruning and feeding schedule for Encore Azaleas after the spring bloom?
Prune after the spring bloom to avoid cutting off the next round of buds for summer and fall bloom, with selective pruning to shape rather than hard renewal pruning, and fertilize in spring after bloom while avoiding fertilizing after August to prevent fragile new growth before winter.
S2 Ep449: Better Lawns and Gardens - Hour 2 New Encore Azaleas! May 9, 2026
Q: What size and form options exist within Encore Azaleas for different landscape applications?
There are compact varieties suitable for foundations and containers, typically three to four and a half feet tall and mound-like in habit, and intermediate varieties that work well for hedges or bigger landscapes, offering a broader scale without the need for large, old-fashioned azaleas.
