ALERT EPISODE:Today's episode stared with a conversation with a garden center customer. And took off from there...
Mike & I have brought on board a returning guest, Amy Stone, of The Ohio State Extension Office to discuss the invasive Tree of Heaven. And the tag along friend, the Spotted Lantern Fly. We chat about how hard it is to remove a Tree of Heaven from your property, to the attraction it offers the Spotted Lantern Fly. Which actually does NOT FLY... it's jumper! The one thing I've learned is we have to stop importing things into the good ole US of A!
Listen in because I guarantee you'll learn something today!
Plus check out the new guide Amy helped author!

YMGP went on "on the road" today... we visited the Lucas Soil and Water Conservation District offices to discuss what they do and to find out about an event they are in charge of. So, if you are close by, plan on making a day trip to Holland, Ohio for the Lucas County Farm Connection, on July 20th, 2024.

The FOUR C's for this show are not what all the ladies are thinking... today's diamonds are not carats (but carrots is a better guess). Nope, today's C's are Cosmos, Coleus, Cleome and Cabbage (?).

Let’s talk lawns, subscribers. If you fertilize your own or have a lawn service company push the spreader, you should know the basics. And seeing that the first-round application is close to closing as this article prints, it’s time to get spreading. But the biggest advice is this; if you’re going to spend the money fertilizing, please don’t cut your lawn short! You can have a beautiful looking lawn that’s full and tall… and still look like a carpet.

The guys get into the nitty gritty of the Goldenrod, which gets a bad rap as a ragweed. A native North American perennial wildflower that's tall, slim with fluffy golden flower spikes in various shades of yellow. Once an invasive species, we discuss the change in direction for this easy to grow beauty.
