Amy travels to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to talk with Peggy Cornett about late-blooming annuals. John Wise from Reynolds Community College presents the Plant of the Month: Cryptomeria japonica. Peggy visits a private butterfly garden and nursery cultivated by Master Naturalist Linda McBride. The Tip from Maymont presents a couple of methods for dividing perennials.
-Summer Garden Salad with Barbara Brown -A visit to the Linnaeus Teaching Garden with former host Steve Owens --Gardening Tips for October -Tips for establishing native lawns and simulated shortgrass prairies with Dennis Martin
The leaves are starting to fall, so it's leaf mould time again. Great stuff and completely free.
Here is what I found on the web today.
Garden Time has the following...
We take a look at some great fall perennials and some plants that were summer surprises, we also visit a huge apple festival, there is a visit to a cranberry harvest and its festival, plus we check out a simple inexpensive greenhouse.
And finally an older programme from the same broadcaster about people and their gardens. Lovely bit about an old lady who has been gardening her whole life.
I also found a very long programme about a procession in Bavaria to give thank for the harvest. I always find it interesting to see these old traditions.
