Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Let's Talk Gardening Podcast 06/14/2026
Q: How do I manage caterpillars on fruit trees and should I harvest fruit early?
You can harvest fruit early to protect caterpillars, but you should leave some on if possible to maintain the life cycle; for treatment, BTK is recommended and can be sprayed per label.
Let's Talk Gardening Podcast 06/14/2026
Q: What's the best approach to dealing with rust on tomatoes and should I prune or spray copper/Bordeaux?
Remove affected leaves carefully, avoid touching healthy leaves, and treat with copper-based spray (copper Bordeaux) to control the fungus while continuing to monitor and prune.
Let's Talk Gardening Podcast 06/14/2026
Q: I have a question about the lupins and why they don't seem to persist; should they be annuals or can they be rejuvenated?
Lupins are often short-lived and tend to last three to five years; you can deadhead and allow regrowth, and some varieties may bloom again in the same season if conditions are right, but they generally don't persist for many years without reseeding.
Let's Talk Gardening Podcast 5/10/2026
Q: Hi Meryl, what ratio and blend should I use for a bucket of seed and soil for patches?
Fill a five-gallon pail halfway with a coarse soil mix, add four cups of grass seed, then mix well with a bit of loam before spreading on the prepared area and watering consistently to keep the seedbed moist.
Let's Talk Gardening Podcast 04/26/2026
Q: When should I transplant my beefsteak and gusto tomatoes started from seed?
Transplant when they're about 6-8 inches tall and then bury most of the stem to create a strong, deep root system; remove excess lower leaves as you plant for better stability.
