Garden Bite with Teri Knight

While I don't enjoy the "news" much, I do enjoy reading the Sunday newspaper (crossword a fav) spread across the kitchen table and a cup of coffee within reach. Recycling your newspaper is, of course a good idea, but there are other ways to repurpose it. Learn more on today's Garden Bite. 

Bareroot plants are a great way to get more bang for your buck. Learn more about bareroot planting on today's Garden Bite. They do have some special requirements but they also tolerate being planted as soon as the soil is thawed. No waiting for warmer temperatures! Now is the time to start ordering them. 

Winter will end... you can get a jump on those summer blooming bulbs. On today's Garden Bite I share the how-to's and also include a video from another expert! Listen up and take a look at my website for more including the 2023 Caladium of the Year! It's a stunner. 

After huge snowfalls, ice, cold and more, Garden Bite is anxious to talk about some new shrubs for 2023. Let's put a bow on February with some fun new shrubs. Listen up and take a peek on my website too! 

Did you love "catching" fireflies as a kid? Maybe you call them Lightning bugs. On today's Garden Bite I talk about the loss of fireflies, what's happening and the plants that attract them. Did you know there are over 150 species of fireflies in the U.S? Learn more on my website too. 

Genetically modified organisms, hybridizing, genetically engineered. Ag science is huge and growing, no pun intended. On today's Garden Bite I offer more information on the topic. But it's a large topic. Keep in mind that genetic modification takes place all the time in nature, including humans! 

It's all about small space gardening on today's Garden Bite. What vegetables to grow in containers and what sizes are best for the plants needs. A chart is included on my website. And don't forget a lovely shrub for your container too! 

Tis the season of seeds! A perennial topic this time of year as we really start the gears rolling on early seed starting. I have some definitions to terms that can come in handy on today's Garden Bite. What's a cultivar? What is the meaning of GMO and GE? 

Proven Winners is a major plant breeder. They have put out a list of the most popular annuals for 2023 based on what their customers, greenhouses and nurseries, are looking to purchase. Take a listen and take a peek on today's Garden Bite! 

As you know, Garden Bite was in Mexico a couple of weeks ago. I managed to take a few pictures! HA. Trying to identify plant life is quite the adventure in itself. Take a look and tell me if YOU know what some of those plants are. Find Garden Bite on the web, on Facebook, Instagram and also Twitter. Although Twitter isn't my favorite platform! You can email me at [email protected] and please share my podcasts!
