Radio Show Recap
The weather has been beautiful this spring and the rain we received over the weekend was much needed! This week, Angelo talks about prepping the veggie garden, fertilizing perennials, trees, and shrubs, and managing deer issues. He also shares some of his favorite flowering annuals, perennials, and shrubs we grow locally here in Northeast Ohio. PLUS, he answers caller questions like “I have a very large pine tree in my yard, when’s the best time to prune it”, and “When is the best time to divide and transplant my spring bulbs”?
