It's hot. Take care of your garden--supplement with fertilizers! Also, beetles.

Julie's been busy planting--at home, at work--and constructing structures to support plants, attract bats and touch the sky! Kind of ridiculous, actually. But so what?!

In an inspired move to rehome seedlings, Julie takes tomato plants to work. Segue to simulating insect pollination then big ol' discussion on mysterious rain sensitive plants like rain lilies & Texas sage. (Julie's really excited this week--It's MAY! YAY!)

Julie is all over the place this week. What's happening in your yards? Gorgeous iris. Ducks. Too much time talking about gourds (Hey weirdo--nice gourds) AND ANNUAL RANT ON SQUASH VINE BORERS!

A show inspired by the full moon and easter. It's Easter. It's a full moon. It's the Pink Moon. It's not even pink, but whatever. Julie walks around in the dark under the Pink Moon, thinks about a lot of stuff like gardening by the moon and focuses on phlox, MOONFLOWERS & Easter lilies.

Sweet potato planting window is April through the end of June--Julie explains how to start sweet potato slips. Also all about Orange Paintbrush wildflowers, plus dealing with insects in the strawberries. Near the end of the episode, she talks about activating your compost pile with horticultural molasses.

Woohoo! The bluebonnets are blooming! Everything is getting green and colorful. This show includes chit chat about bluebonnets, blue eyed grass, primroses, spiderwort plus basic organic pest control!

Ooo...Texas Mountain Laurel--gorgeous flowers & heady, sweetness. Plus what the cuss is going on with the oak trees dropping leaves?!

Yay! Julie is super excited for Spring--she's so happy for the warmer, sunnier days and she's rather enthusiastic about ornamental redbuds, white cemetery iris and gets a little nerdy about xeric landscaping. Oops.

Julie wonders if Spring will ever come to Central Texas, discusses advantages of in-ground & above ground gardening, gives the ratio for raised bed mix for Central Texas and then closes the show with a spotlight on cilantro and oregano!
