  • How To Keep Your Hanging Baskets Blooming Big - All Summer Long!

    How To Keep Your Hanging Baskets Blooming Big - All Summer Long!
    May 12 2026
    Want to know the best way to keep your hanging baskets healthy, strong – and most importantly – loaded with blooms all summer long this year?

    If there is one issue that seems to plague gardeners when it comes to their hanging baskets – it’s how to keep them healthy and blooming longer for more than just a month or two at most! Of course when you pick those new baskets out early in the year, they are always lush and full of blooms, but that changes so quickly.

    Unfortunately, by mid to late summer, a large majority of hanging baskets begin to rapidly fade. What was once a bright bouquet of foliage and blooms often turns into an eyesore filled with brown leaves and a sparse collection of struggling flowers.

    In today's epsiode - Jim & Mary cover three simple tips that will not only make it possible to keep your baskets thriving, gorgeous and blooming – but to do so all the way through summer and deep into fall!

  • How To Fertilize Hostas - Keep Your Hostas Beautiful This Year!

    How To Fertilize Hostas - Keep Your Hostas Beautiful This Year!
    Apr 30 2026
    This week Jim & Mary are talking hostas - or more importantly - how and when to fertilize hostas to keep them beautiful all summer long!

    Unlike most perennials and annuals, hostas are almost always grown for their beautiful foliage. Although they do produce a long, slender stem of blooms in the summer, it is their incredibly colorful and large leaves that are really the star of the show.

    With massive leaves that come in a variety of solid and variegated greens, whites, creams and blueish-green colors, they are simply perfect for brightening up the shadier portions of a landscape.

    But if there is one trait of hostas that give gardeners fits, it’s that their amazing foliage often begins to fail long before fall arrives. In fact, for many, their hosta plants struggle just to make it through the middle of summer!

    The good news is that with just the slightest of extra care and attention, hostas can keep their leaves strong the whole season through. And without a doubt – one of the easiest ways to ensure that is by giving them the perfect dose of energy!
