Listen "Late Summer Lawn, Landscape & Garden Wrap-Up"
Episode Synopsis
As summer winds down and fall kicks into gear, the Hort Culture crew—Alexis, Brett, Jessica, and Ray—sit down to unpack the busy transition season for lawns, landscapes, and gardens in Kentucky. From wrapping up summer crops to preparing for fall planting, the team dives into the balancing act of deciding when to terminate tomatoes and peppers, the importance of cover crops, and how sustainability goes beyond just environmental concerns to include economic and personal well-being .They share practical fall to-dos: planting trees and dividing perennials, reseeding cool-season lawns, mulching landscapes, and making time for soil testing . The conversation also highlights the ecological role of leaving some garden debris for pollinators, while sprinkling in personal stories about amaryllis care, cover crop mixes, and the “team termination” debate over worn-out summer veggies .Listeners will walk away with a clear picture of what tasks make the biggest impact in September and October, plus a reminder to enjoy the season—even if it means pulling a few tired plants early to make way for new growth next year.Questions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: [email protected] us out on Instagram!
