Want to know what discussion popped up at the family 4th of July party? And more important, how did Mike get an invite?! LOL
The guys re-enacted the discussion for the record and pass on a few more tidbits about the weed we all know as Poison Hemlock. Which in the last thirty years has had more human interaction.

And now is a co-author of American Roots: Reimagining Our Home Gardens (Timber Press; Fall 2022).

The Garden Guy, Mike, has challenged Junior Gardener Scott. The experiment:  to plant a couple Banana Trees in his Midwest "tropical" pool landscape. See if he can keep them healthy, let alone alive AND successfully over Winter them... having new growth next Spring.
Follow along as Scott does his homework and gives updates on this multiple episode subject! This is Session One.
UPDATED INFO: The Musa Basjoo does grow fingers (bananas), however they are mostly seeds and very little fruit. Scott mentions they are just a leafy version and don't produce bananas as we know from the grocery store. Still learning...

If you dig mushrooms (lol), then you'll love this discussion! Mike & Scott learn about all the uses for mushrooms, there's more than just tossing them on a pizza.
     This week's guest is Mike Chancey, who has turned his hobby into a business, takes the guesswork out of growing mushrooms with kits he builds for clients. Nothing better than success as a rookie just learning the ways, as some mushrooms can be dangerous!
    Mushroom Mike is so full of information, we are already discussing recording another show! So come take a listen, as even a Master Gardener might learn a thing or two.

Mike and Scott travel to The Toledo Botanical Gardens to discuss Dahlias with grower Don Hughes. Don has over 40 years experience growing Dahlias and has had to move his growing patch from his home to the Toledo Botanical Gardens!!! I'd say he has a few plants to show off!

Scott & Mike talk to Bryan Smith, the Sylvania Schools Horticulture Teacher,  about our experts of tomorrow. With all the computer experts our kids/grandkids are turning out to be, we are relieved there are some in the younger generation that are still interested in getting their hands dirty. But they are only as good as they want to be, and as good as we lead them to be. Thankfully we have Bryan to teach them as our grandparents did us!
Listen in on how detailed this high school preps their students for some that go to college and many that hit our industry head on!
