Spring is officially here, and Laura from ⁨Garden Answer⁩ welcomes the season with a fresh round of planting and garden prep!

She kicks things off by sowing stock flower seeds saved from last year. Using Espoma Organic Seed Starter Mix and Potting Soil, she creates the perfect environment for strong germination and healthy growth. To support her young seedlings, Laura turns to Espoma Organic Grow!—a liquid organic fertilizer packed with essential nutrients that help plants thrive naturally. 🌱

Next, Laura adds lasting color and structure to her landscape by planting three Sgt. Pepper Dogwood shrubs. Known for their vibrant red twigs and variegated foliage, these shrubs are given the best start with Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus, a mycorrhizae-enhanced organic fertilizer designed to promote deep roots and long-term plant health. 🌿

Finally, she refreshes her hellebores by trimming back old foliage and feeding them with Espoma Organic Holly-tone. This slow-release organic fertilizer is ideal for acid-loving plants and ensures strong, beautiful spring blooms. 🌸

From seed starting to shrub planting, Laura shows just how easy it is to grow a healthy, thriving garden with the help of Espoma Organic. If you’re looking to boost your garden naturally this season, reach for the organic fertilizers trusted by gardeners for over 95 years.

In this informative video, Summer Rayne Oakes from Flock Finger Lakes discusses the significance of reintroducing native plants into our green spaces. She focuses on planting native rhododendrons and shares valuable tips on how to create the ideal growing conditions for these beautiful plants.

Summer emphasizes the importance of soil preparation when planting rhododendrons. To ensure the soil has the proper pH level, she recommends using Espoma Organic Soil Acidifier.

In addition to adjusting the soil pH, Summer suggests improving soil structure by applying Espoma Organic Land & Sea Gourmet Compost. This compost is rich in nutrients and organic matter, which helps to promote healthy root growth and overall plant vitality.

By following Summer’s expert advice and using these high-quality Espoma Organic products, gardeners can successfully plant and cultivate native rhododendrons. Reintroducing native plants not only adds beauty to our gardens but also supports local ecosystems and biodiversity.

Join Summer Rayne Oakes of Homestead Brooklyn as she guides us through the process of repotting and nurturing Kumquat and Limequat trees.

A Kumquat is a delightful orange-like fruit indigenous to Southeast Asia. Unlike many fruits, the rind of a kumquat is entirely edible and is where most of the fruit’s nutrients are packed. On the other hand, a Limequat is an intriguing hybrid of the Kumquat and Key lime, inheriting attributes from both.

For the optimal growing medium, Summer uses a mix of Espoma Organic Potting Soil and Espoma Organic Perlite, ensuring her trees get the best start.
