116. Who Says You Can’t Fool Mother Nature? We Show You How!

43 minutes

Asters and marigolds are blooming, finches are enjoying sunflowers - and the harvest is finally coming in. We welcome Fall! And we scheme how to squeeze in a few extra weeks before Mother Nature decides to fully blanket us in snow. So, Kathryn and Christy have curated some of our favorite tips and tricks to fool Mother Nature. And not just in the Fall, but in ALL four seasons.

How watering helps when Jack Frost is a’comin?

The ins and outs of covering: What materials? When? Why uncover? How to anchor?

What are the best plants to snatch away from Mother Nature – and how?

How to fool Mother Nature in the winter with used milk jugs?

Build a wall of water in early spring to get a head start!

Don’t let Mother Nature hail on your parade in the summer.

Plus: A Squirrel Lawyer send Upside Down Tulips a cease and desist letter. Christy did it again and forgot about produce in the attic. Edith makes a surprise appearance. Mailbag (Ring, Ring!) delivers a letter and gives us hope and Alex Trebek schools us all. Lots of fun and info!
