This month on Down the Garden Path, we’re exploring "Gardening Beyond the Basics." In this episode, we conclude our month-long discussion on how to take your gardening to the next level with a look at what you should be doing after your garden is planted.

Tune into this week's podcast as we discuss what you should be doing this month.

• Now is the time to bring your houseplants outside and slowly integrate them into your outdoor landscape (hint: very slowly).
• Joanne and Matthew remind listeners to fertilize indoor flowering plants with high middle-number fertilizer.
• The importance of watering your vegetable gardens often and deeply.
• Temperatures are ideal to apply grass seed to your lawn.
• Now is a good time to do your spring application of nematodes to treat for grubs.
