Episode Show Notes / Description
Enjoying the yard and keeping it looking great are connected. Great weather this spring allowed many plants to grow well and bloom longer. Now that the season has settled down, keeping the yard looking good only takes a bit of work, if done routinely. So what can you do? Between the rains we received, and watering done, weed seeds can sprout. Lightly working the surface takes care of that and is not too labor intensive. Edging back the lawn away from the shrub bed or keeping the tree ring open can be done in stages too. Educator Richard Hentschel talks summer to-do lists for your yard in this episode.
