Callers:

• Charlie – His yard is covered in weeds and wants advice on what it is and how to get rid of it?

• Greg – His two year old artichoke plants died back a while back, but are coming back strong now. Can they split them like other plants?

Recommendation – Yes. He can divide it if there are multiple plants to seperate. Jay describes what’s needed and how to go about it.

• Brian – His bougainvillea has lost it’s flowers.

Recommendation – That is normal. They don’t flower all year, so this is very normal and he has nothing to worry about.

*We discuss the proper pruning for bougainvillea.

• Kate – Her pepper plants were doing really well, but now the fruit is turning brown. The plants are still doing well, should she keep them going or start over?

Recommenation – Pepper plants are much heartier than tomato plants and she can keep them going, unlike tomatoes.

Callers:

• Caroline – She has a “beautiful plum tree” and is wondering if she needs to fertilize it this spring and how to do it correctly.

Recommendation – Never fertilize on dry soils, but she can buy granular fertilizer on the gravel around the tree and water it in. Jay describes the process and her options.
