104. Perfectly Practical Tips about Peas and Other ”P” Words from the Garden

Upside Down Tulips - A Garden Podcast

Spring is here! And we celebrate our gardens springing back into life – bulbs, garlic, chives and budding lilacs. We continue to celebrate celery – Kathryn shares a great celery soup recipe. We even appreciate the weeds. Well, some of them anyway.

We return to our old friend, the Alphabet, and bring you a potpourri of garden words that start with the letter “P”.

• When should you plant peas?
• Should you dead head pansies?
• Why do perennials sleep, leap and creep?
• What native “P” flower is deer resistant and has over 300 varieties?
• Why should you know the Ph scale of your soil?
• Should you transplant peonies in the spring or fall?
• Will we have time to get to potatoes?

Don’t worry – there is not a quiz. We answer all these questions for you. What about Pod Plays? Yup! We have two brand new ones! Then, we reach into our trusty old mailbag and pull out a letter about how to build a sunflower house! And we wrap up with an inspiration to surely motivate you to get out and enjoy your spring garden. Spring is here!
