It is the September To Do List – believe it or not, we are in full Fall prep time.  Lots of cool weather vegetables to start planting, and tons of clean up and pruning.  Summer may have been easy in the garden, but it’s time to get the gloves on and get to work.  Episode includes Listener Q&A and a discussion around current published articles in the horticulture world.

 

It is time to plant:

•         Beets
•         Carrots
•         Broccoli
•         Brussel sprouts
•         Cauliflower
•         Cabbage
•         Celery
•         Swiss chard
•         Collards
•         Garlic
•         Leek
•         Lettuce
•         Peas
•         Radish
•         Spinach
•         Perennials – towards the end of September when it cools down

Chores include:

•         Clean up – pull out vegetables which are done, fallen fruit
•         Prune lavender, hydrangeas
•         Pests – whiteflies may be setting in…..keep an eye on

 

Listener Q&A section.  Topics covered include:

•         What are the galls attached to oaks?  Are they harmful to the tree?
•         When replanting a Venus Fly Trap, does it require a specific soil?
•         Gardenias – no buds or flowers…..is this a location issue?
•         Lantana issues

One night, the Leekcast decided to have a good ol' match of mario party 3. But little did they know none of them would make it out alive... Also Yoshis a dick.

This week the LeekCast argue semantics.

Chickpeas are one of my all time favorite foods and they’re jam packed with nutrition. Boasting high levels of protein, calcium, minerals and lots of fiber, chickpeas or garbonzo beans, should find their way into your weekly menu.

Sean Waters interviews Sue Hickton (aka Evil Sue) and Sue Waters (aka Good Sue) about how good Sue is lost in this digital age of NetLingo, Emoticons and Leek Speak. They both try to educate her. If you suffer digital illiteracy issues then this is a must listen. Visit Lingo2Word and Basic Emoticons and Smilies for help!
