Radio Show Recap
It’s Hydrangea Fest at Petitti’s and Angelo celebrates by sharing some of his favorite varieties in bloom now, including The Endless Summer® series and some beautiful new varieties from Proven Winners. He also talks Japanese Beetle control, lawn maintenance, and mid-summer pruning for annuals. Angelo recommends cutting your annuals back by 1/3 at this point in the season to promote fresh, healthy growth that will make them bloom even better the rest of the season. PLUS he answers callers’ questions like “My tomatoes have blossom end rot, how can I prevent it in the future”, and “When can I prune my Oakleaf Hydrangea”?
