In this podcast I'll share some of the new plant finds of this season. Ball Horticulture has some exciting new petunias, including Black Velvet. Their Double Zahara Zinnias, Gryphon Begonia and Pow Wow Echinacea are exciting new plants. Bailey Nursery's Little Devil Diablo Ninebark and Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangea will make great additions to the shrub and mixed border. Green Leaf Nursery has introduced a brilliant green dogwood, Garden Glow. I'll answer gardeners' questions on winter container arrangements and rose pests.

Summer's heat can take its toll on both you and your garden. Take a walk through Boerner to find out what annuals, perennials and summer blooming shrubs sparkle in the summer heat. I offer a guided tour that you can take along with you while viewing the virtual tour online!

Melinda Myers at Wisconsin State Fair

A friend's recent wedding inspired me to share with you some ideas on using cut flowers from the garden. I'll then answer a gardener's question on starting trees and shrubs from cuttings. I'll follow that with an update on Emerald Ash Borer. I'll finish with some information on Bayer Tree and Shrub Insecticide.
