March 6, 2021 - Lenten Roses, 4-Step Lawn Programs, Ornamental Grasses, and Chickweed - a podcast by Len Schroeder and Julio Zamora

Spring is in the air with our region expecting to be in the 60's next week!  That only means one thing... it's time to start working in the yard!  In our first segment, Len and Julio will discuss Hellebores aka Lenten Roses which are beginning to bloom right now in early-spring through May.

Have you been considering a commercialized 4-Step Program for your lawn?  We'll explain that while these programs are a good start, they are not a customized solution for your lawn's specific needs and why it's a good idea to see your local independent garden center.

Later in the show we'll explain why now is the time to cut back any ornamental grasses you may have.  And then we have tips on spotting and taking care of Chickweed, a winter annual lawn weed common to our region.

Wrapping up the show we have a text from the Bloomers In the Garden hotline about a disease found in a listener's Knockout Rose.
