Garden Bite with Teri Knight

We're into the 3rd week of January and perhaps you've already blown through your resolutions... or you're more disciplined? Today's Garden Bite is about plant resolutions! Ways to help us garden better.  Garden Bite. 

Cacti and succulents are very popular plants. On today's Garden Bite I discuss the differences between the two. While some think they like the same conditions, really their care is slightly different. There's a saying that "all cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti". Learn more on today's 'Bite! 

In the world of succulents, Strings of Plants have gained significant popularity both among plant aficionados and home decorators. And with good reason. On today's Garden Bite I share lots of these beauties and their care. Take a look on my website too.  

I'm going to do it! I'm going to try okra. On today's Garden Bite I share a couple of other seeds I received from All America Selections. A red okra that is beautiful and, apparently, quite tasty. This plant looks nothing like I thought it would. Maybe because I'm from the North and had okra once decades ago in New Orleans! Take a peek at a compact nasturtium called 'Baby Rose' that I'll be planting too. 

Depending on who you talk to and the conditions of frozen soil and spring thaw, you'll find different answers on how the crazy winter weather will affect drought conditions across the US. On today's Garden Bite I talk about those conditions necessary to help us get out of drought. 

Lighting for our houseplants is always an interesting topic in the dead of winter! With short days and homes that don't always have a lot of light anyway it can be challenging. I talk about the full spectrum of lights on today's Garden Bite and share more information on what that really is on my website. 

In 5 easy ways! Seriously I get numerous questions this time of year from people wondering why their plant isn't thriving. On today's Garden Bite I share some possible explanations and how to combat them. Tomorrow I'll talk about various lighting methods. My website. 

My niece has asked me to help her landscape her yard. These are her rules: nothing that takes any time and no hosta! How is she even related to me? HA. I'm about to break some news to her. First there will always be some time to give to your landscape, even the "easy" ones and there are 2 new types of hosta with frilly leaves that should knock her socks off. Take a look on today's Garden Bite. 

Who is PPA and what perennial have they picked for 2023. On today's Garden Bite I share it all! This perennial is hardy to zone 4 and a real winner, another AAS winner! 

I was recently sent seeds from AAS, All America Selections, to try. I will be setting up an area in a spare bedroom to get these started!
