S3:E03 Spring Weeds

The Garden Thyme Podcast

Hello Listener,

How do I control weeds is probably one of the most common questions we get. So in this month's episode, we are chatting all about spring weeds. What is a Weed? Which ones are our favorites? What's the difference between a typical weed, an invasive plant, and a Noxious Weed?

We also have our:

• Native Plant of the Month ( Golden Ragwort) at 49:00
• Garden Tips of the Month at 33:00
• Bug of the Month (Carpenter Bees) at 33:10

To learn more about Maryland Noxious Weeds, check out the Maryland Noxious Weed I.D. guide.

Plant Invaders of the Mid-Atlantic is a great guide and resource for helping understand invasive plant biology and control methods. Some extension offices have these available in print.
