Your Outdoor Office, Peaches, and Arugula vs. Garlic Mustard
Ellen and C.L. both love arugula, and C.L. talks about how easy it is to grow from seed. But Ellen prefers to forage for her greens, so in this episode it’s Arugula vs. Garlic Mustard! For the plant noob we offer information about the type of plants you’ll find in the landscape, and begin our series about Your Outdoor Office. Finally, we are inspired by the article about peach recipes in the summer issue of Better Homes and Gardens, and offer some insider information about growing your own delicious fruit. An email about “blooming on old wood” finishes up this episode.
Plants mentioned:
