Plants for Dry Sunny Areas and Vegetables You Can Still Grow

 

This week on Mid-American Gardener, John and Martie answer viewer questions and share practical gardening advice for the season. 

Looking for plants that thrive in a dry, sunny location? John offers a long list of dependable groundcovers and landscape plants that can handle challenging conditions while adding beauty to your garden. 

Martie introduces a new plant from her collection that's in need of a little TLC, sparking discussion about plant care and recovery. John also demonstrates how simple foliage, including hosta leaves, can add striking color, texture, and contrast to floral arrangements. 

Later in the episode, John and Martie will tell you which vegetables can still be planted and enjoyed this year. If you think you've missed your chance to grow food this season, think again. There are several crops that can still produce before the growing season ends. 

Join us for another episode filled with practical tips, creative ideas, and expert gardening advice.
