Lessons learned:
Don’t plant orach (you’ll see why!)

Hot garden trends:
Shaggy lawns
Turf wars (aka turf lawns)
Moon gardening
Plant parenthood
Fire-resistant gardening
A delightful letter from the mailbag with thoughts on tomatoes, hydrangeas, and raspberries
Plus: new tips, new tools, and new ways to listen to your garden
