Plant Talk is the longest running program on KFGO and every Thursday at 1pm, Dave Decock takes your questions about gardening, lawn care or anything that grows around your home.
IN THIS EPISODE:
After a week of heavy summer storms, Dave gets some calls about what to do with a tree that took a beating from Mother Nature. Loss of limbs, bolting together branches and emergency care are covered. Plus, Dave answers the question of how to diagnose a tree that was struck by lightning. Interesting insight from his decades of fieldwork.
A few listeners also call in about the leaves on their tomatoes starting to curl. The most common reason is some sort of poison hitting the leaves. Dave warns that dandelion poison can travel more than a block on a hot summer day with only a slight breeze. The actions of your neighbors can be felt in your garden a distance away! Remember that when you treat for your weeds…
Dave also talks to a gentleman who has a lot of lilacs, but a wife with allergies and wants some tips on how to get rid of them completely. It could be quite the chore, but it is possible after cutting them back and treating the remaining limbs with a herbicide.
and more!
