Radio Show Recap
We’ve passed NE Ohio’s average “frost-free” date (May 15), which means it’s statistically unlikely a frost event will occur at this point in the season. That means you can feel comfortable planting tender annuals, flowering tropicals, and heat-loving veggies. This week, Angelo shared some of his favorite deer-resistant Perennials to plant in the landscape along with timely gardening advice. PLUS, he answered caller questions like “Deer ate the bottoms of my Emerald Green Arborvitaes, will they come back”, and “My Butterfly Bush doesn’t have leaves yet, is it dead”?
