Yes, we know it’s still summer, but now is the perfect time to start planning your fall gardening. Margaret Roach, from the popular garden site A Way To Garden, joins us to talk must-have tips and time-savers that will help you get your lawn and garden growing the way you want.

From counter to cabinet, right up the wall, we' re finding out that surface runs sensuously deep inside the world of Formica at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. Monica Pedersen took a break from presenting gorgeous new products from Kohler to check in with Mark & Theresa at the Formica booth. Theresa asks Monica about surprising the HGTV Dream Home winner. Mark & Theresa talk with Formica's President Mitch Quint, who goes below the surface of one of the most utilized—and important—surfaces in the home: our kitchen and bath counters. Formica is getting it done, coming up big with everything from new green initiatives to high-end features in more affordable product lines. Formica's Todd Vezina talks design and countertops. The 180fx line is completely different–and now you can get the realistic look of granite for less money in these beautiful laminate surfaces. The 180fx line has become one of Formica' s most successful product launches in the company' s 100 years. And these gorgeous laminate surfaces are not just for counters but can even be hung as wall art. Finally, Timothy, from Charles & Hudson, talks cool countertop materials and learns from Theresa about the relationship-saving toilet at Toto. Mark & Theresa also get fired up about Timothy' s new venture: Built by Kids: ABC's of DIY.
