About this episode
In this episode, I introduce a new format that includes answering listener questions in addition to the usual lecture-style content. First, I discuss important gardening tasks for the week, such as transplanting brassicas, lettuce, and cool-season flowers like snapdragons and pansies. I also emphasize the need for consistent watering despite cooler temperatures. Next, I address Angela's question about growing cut flowers in partial shade, providing detailed recommendations on suitable perennials and annuals, including oak leaf hydrangeas and dianthus. Don’t forget to check out our 2026 garden planner, now available for purchase. 00:00 Introduction and New Format Announcement 00:52 Weekly Gardening Tips: Transplanting and Winter Annuals 03:13 Angela's Question: Growing Cut Flowers in Partial Shade 05:13 Understanding Light Levels for Plants 07:02 Perennials for Part Shade Cut Flower Gardens 10:00 Annuals for Part Shade Cut Flower Gardens 12:14 Encouragement and Final Thoughts 12:49 Conclusion and Announcements RESOURCES MENTIONED: 2026 North Texas Garden Planner: https://shop.thedallasgarden.com MORE FROM THE DALLAS GARDEN SCHOOL: The Dallas Garden School Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thedallasgardenschool_ Classes: https://learn.thedallasgarden.com Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thedallasgardenschool Shop our store: https://shop.thedallasgarden.com SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review!
