On this episode of On the Garden Hotline, hosts Scott Jagow, Jim Schulte, and Jeff Kendall from Horseman Brothers discuss key gardening topics for the busy fall season. They cover essential tasks like leaf cleanup, winterizing lawns, and deep root feeding of trees to prepare them for the colder months. The experts also highlight the impact of warm weather on plant blooming times and the extended weed season. Callers ask about grass seed germination, garlic planting, tree pruning, and hydrangea care. The team offers advice on the best times to plant bulbs, trim hydrangeas, and protect trees from deer.
