In this solo episode of Down the Garden Path podcast, landscape designer Joanne Shaw offers mid-season advice for your lawn and garden. Topics covered in this week's episode: YES… you can still plant this summer. You do not need to wait until Fall. Summer is always a good time to pick up a good sale on plants, just check that the roots are healthy. The roots are the most important thing to look at in mid-summer, especially on discounted plant material. It may not do much this year, but it will be even better next year. Tree and shrub planting is fine, but you need to be around home to water in case of drought. If you are away for a few days that is fine, consider a tree watering bag for trees or even timers for sprinklers. The important thing is to be around to keep an eye on your newly planted trees. Also, remember the sign of too much water is the same as not enough. So check the soil deeply if your plant appears to be struggling. Mid-summer is Japanese beetle season. I want to reassure you that Japanese Beetle traps work, according to instructions. Read the instructions. Place the trap far away from the garden and plants (including your neighbours' plants) Communicate with your close neighbours; you don't all need a trap. Follow the distance guidelines in the instructions and you will be fine. The key is to capture as many as possible before they lay their eggs in your lawn, which turn into grubs. Native Plants There's so much talk about native plants and only using them in your garden. If it is overwhelming, don't worry. There are a lot of non-native plants that pollinators love. There is no need to remove plants or shrubs to add native plants -- unless you have invasive plants, or you want to. I suggest a few mid-season native bloomers that can be added now. Many native plants are spring or fall bloomers and many can become invasive or spreaders, so keep that in mind when choosing them. Removing seed heads will help with their spread. Mid-summer is also crabgrass season. It is important to pull it out before it goes to seed. Try not to cut grass when it has gone to seed because that spreads the seed to create more weeds for next year. If you have a large lawn and or a large amount of crabgrass, consider bagging your grass for the rest of the season to try to prevent as many weeds as possible for next year.

There are 1,200 Master Gardeners in the State of Kansas. But in June, there will be Master Gardeners from across the country coming to Kansas for their conference. Ever wonder what the best tomatoes are to grow in Kansas? Or how to manage Japanese Beetles. Well all of these things have one thing in common: the K-State Extension office. One of the things we like to highlight on the podcast is events that bring in people from outside of Kansas. Whether drawing from other states across the US or pulling in people from other countries, these events are not only good for the Kansas economy, they are a chance for us to show off our state, teach people about who we are as Kansans, and hopefully do a little bit of stereotype busting. In June, Overland Park will be hosting the International Master Gardener Conference for 2023. My guest today is Dennis Patton, a Horticulturist with the Johnson County Extension office. Dennis is also one of the chairs for the Conference, along with 2 other dedicated gardeners who are volunteers.  Links from the Show Notes: International Master Gardener Conference website Events open to the public To learn more about becoming a Master Gardener: search for your county + extension office to see if your local county has a program.
