In February, California gardens are a testament to the state's unique climate, offering a vibrant tableau despite the winter season. While much of the country shivers under a blanket of snow, California's milder temperatures allow a variety of plants to flourish. Winter-blooming flowers like camellias add splashes of color. Citrus trees, heavy with fruit, stand as bright beacons in the soft winter light, and succulents continue to thrive, adding texture and interest. Gardeners might also tend to cool-season vegetables such as kale, chard, and broccoli, which thrive in the cooler weather. The February garden in California is a busy place, with preparations underway for spring plantings, pruning of dormant trees, and the ongoing joy of harvesting winter crops, making it a dynamic and rewarding time for garden enthusiasts.Resource Links Mentioned During The Show:https://www.fertilome.com/ https://www.gardenamerica.com/tropical-costa-rica-trip-with-garden-america/ Join our gardening podcast and radio show Garden America LIVE every Saturday from 8-10 AM Pacific Time on Facebook.

Have lawns in California been disparaged unfairly? Grass absorbs greenhouse gas and converts it into life-giving oxygen. It does this at a much higher rate than native plants because grass has a higher leaf density and a faster growth rate. A 2500-square-foot lawn converts enough carbon dioxide into oxygen to sustain a family of four! Grass also absorbs particulates and some of the worst atmospheric pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and ozone. In this episode, we discuss the problems or potential of lawns in California with John Domenici from Southland Sod.Resource Links Mentioned During The Show:Southland SodFun Gardener Personality QuizCosta Rica Trip with Garden AmericaFertilomeGarden America PodcastsJoin Garden America LIVE every Saturday from 8-10 AM Pacific Time.

October gardens stand as a poignant testament to nature's ever-evolving canvas. As the fiery hues of autumn begin to adorn the trees, the garden transitions from the exuberance of summer to a quieter, more reflective phase. Many perennials are putting on their final show, while fall-blooming plants like chrysanthemums and asters burst forth in a symphony of color. Vegetables like pumpkins, squashes, and root crops await harvest. The cooling temperatures beckon gardeners to prepare for the impending winter: collecting seeds, mulching, and ensuring that the soil and its inhabitants are ready for the colder months ahead. Amidst this change, the October garden offers a serene retreat, a place of beauty and contemplation, and a reminder of nature's eternal cycles. Tiger is bringing in different gourds to discuss on this week's show.
