Topics: Joey and Holly talks Talk about in segment 1 - 4 mistake all gardeners make
Not paying attention to what your plants need
Ignoring the seasons
Having too many plants
Planting the wrong plant in the wrong spot
Forgetting to harden plants off
Planting too closely
Not feeding the soil
In segment 2 Joey and Holly talk about 5 Rules of gardening.
1. Visit Your Garden Frequently
There’s an old adage that goes “The best thing for a garden is the shadow of the gardener,” meaning the gardeners who spend a lot of time in their gardens notice problems while their gardens are still small and manageable. Regular monitoring is how to detect pests and diseases before they get out of control, and what could be nicer than a daily stroll through your own little paradise?
2. Focus on preventing problems more than curing them. Proper preparation and appropriate choices favor plant vigor. Vigorous plants avoid most diseases and pests.
3. If problems occur, identify the pest, weed, or disease, before treating it. Ask Extension Master Gardeners, garden centers or go online to accurately identify your problem. Do not apply fertilizer or chemicals to a sick plant unless you know what ails it.
4.Start with a soil test, taken after you have applied organic amendments. Many organic matter amendments (compost, conditioners) have high nutrient levels and you may over-apply fertilizers or lime if you sample before adding the organic matter amendments. Low or high pH or fertility can stunt growth, burn roots, and stress plants.
5. Mulch to reduce weeds and maintain soil moisture, but don’t apply it thicker than 2 to 4 inches. Roots must breathe to stay healthy, so small root systems need less mulch. Mulch volcaoes are not good for trees, as they can hold water and smother roots.
6. Don’t fight a recurring problem – change something. If moss is growing in your lawn, you have a wet or shady area. Grow moss or ferns, fix the drainage problem, or cut down the tree if you want grass.
In Segment 3 Joey and Holly welcome their guest Old Alabama Gardener

In segment 4 Joey and Holly answer your garden questions
Q:i planted my onion seeds in potting mix. did i mess up? i saw on your video u used potting soil. will they turn out?
A:Potting mix is used in container gardening. The best quality potting soils do not contain soil (dirt); they are called soil because we grow plants in the material.Potting or soil-less mix is actually a mixture of peat moss, pine bark and organic materials. ... Select potting mix when planting a container garden.
Q: what nite temp can i take my mulch off my garlic? its 23 at nite and 40 in day right now am from ND.
Q:
Hello... could you recommend reputable seed vendor? (I went to the a Seed site... and was informed that their site was not secure so, I exited) I'd like to order a variety of seeds... but, a secure site is a MUST. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Yes www.MIgardener.com
Q: That is very interesting about cinnamon & dampening off ! I know that the cheaper cinnamon you buy in most grocery stores is NOT real cinnamon & not good for you. Real cinnamon, I believe comes from Ceylon, etc. & is a lot more expensive. So ~ does it matter which one you use ? I have heard that the cheap stuff is only good for pest control in the garden.
A: The cheap cinnamon will work.
Q The deer decimated our veggie garden last summer. We would like to build a fence around it with a gate. (Something more aesthetically pleasing.) How high do we need to make it to feel like we are protected?
Deer can jump up to 8 feet high; however you dont necessarily need an 8 foot fence. You could build a 6 foot fence with slight slanting and this would throw them off.
Q. I planted peppers 2 wks ago. Only 4 came up. Should I throw the rest or give it more time?
A:Give them more time we planted ours 2 weeks ago also and about half have come up with a few more each day they can take up to 21 days keep the soil damp and the room they are in warm
Q My onions I started 8 days ago. Not coming up. On a heat blanket covered. .A:Warm area is key you have that they can take up to 14 days to sprout and then remove them from the heat
Should I take them off and put them under grow lights? Or just wait longer?
A: once they begin to sprout then you can put them under the grow light.
Q How to deal with slugs organically

Thank you for listening and downloading the show.
Topics: Joey and Holly talks Talk about in segment 1 what you need to know before buying plants at your local nursery.
Things to be aware of when buying plants from your local garden center or nursery (we will reference Bluemel’s)
1. Not every plant they sell can be planted outside in your area year round – tropicals, other zones, citrus, etc
2. If it doesn’t look healthy doesn’t mean you can make it healthy – look for signs of disease
3. We recommend go to an independent garden center vs a garden department at a big box store
4. Don’t be afraid to talk to the staff and ask questions – they are there to help – google may not give you everything you need to know
5. Don’t buy vegetables in full bloom
6. Look at all your options – they may have a variety that will work better for you than what you went in for
7. garden center that values and promotes education
8. Determine what you will do with said plant before you buy it – don’t buy just because you might have a spot for it
-Pay attention to the quality of employees you see as it reflects a lot about the business itself. If the employees seem to not care, neither does the management.
-Do not be shocked if you see a plant or two with bugs or signs of a disease. ALL garden centers (even the good ones) have to battle these issues and it is hard to be perfect when you are maintaining thousands of plants! Shop with caution, but stay away from garden centers where majority of their inventory seems infected.
-Don’t be afraid to offer your suggestions and input. Garden centers with solid management will appreciate hearing from their customers. Tell them what you like/dislike. Don’t forget to compliment as well!
-If you purchase a plant and then experience issues- notify the garden center as soon as you see any signs of plant distress. 9 out of 10 times a good garden center will be able to address and solve the problem. Don’t let the problem persist as your issue may then progress to the point of being un-reversable.
