Rethinking the lawn is definitely trending for 2023. On today's Garden Bite I continue talking about Benjamin Vogt's new book and share ideas and thoughts on introducing yourself and your neighbors to a new kind of lawn that invites pollinators, helps with cleaner water and air and is much quieter without that lawn mower! 

The plant catalogs have been arriving or you’ve been googling and finding all kinds of fun plants. Every year, and 2023 is no different, I get questions from listeners about plant catalog terms. For instance, what does slow-to-bolt mean? I answer those queries on today's Garden Bite. 

Companion planting has been around for generations. On today's Garden Bite I share information from a couple of sources. While not always supported by University based information, one of those resources was one of my Master Gardener instructors! Take a look on my website and learn how some herbs and vegetables compliment each other in the garden and others do not. 

Late 2022 and into 2023, winter has been harsh for critters and that means they've been nibbling on shrubs even more! My dwarf burning bush is even shorter. Today's Garden Bite is about the damage and ways to prevent it.  

Air Plants have been trending for a while and remain very popular in 2023. They require very little but what they do require is important to know! Check out today's Garden Bite for the plants, their care and some of the ways they're displayed. 

Today I’m sharing an annual, a shrub, if you prefer, and an edible. I discovered these 2023 offerings I found through the National Garden Bureau where I’m a member. Check out my website for a look at all these wonderful new plants. 

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.
