The start of July means summer is in full swing and our gardens are at the peak of the season. It is also a big month for garden maintenance. So we have gathered together over 20 tips on what you should be doing in your July garden - what not to plant, what you can plant, what to deadhead, how to get broccoli baby heads even if your original plant goes to seed. Plus:  helpful info on pinching, watering, weeding, staking, dividing, mulching. So many "ings!"

Don’t know what a farrier is?  Neither did we. Christy thought it might be a grower and caretaker of fairies. (!) Edith has been waiting for years to use the word “Oyez” in a sentence and finally found a way! We revisit Christy’s Horrifying Ladybug Incident and a listener explains why not everyone’s pee changes smell if you eat asparagus. And then Ben Franklin mansplains about the issue.  (Go fly a kite, Benjamin, or at the very least stick to forming the US of A.)

The Garden Gnomes return in two fun pod-plays made just for the gardener!
