It’s that time of year again! The much-anticipated listener question and answer episode. Carol and Danielle look forward to this special episode (sometimes TWO episodes) because it allows them to offer real-life advice for the plant and garden design issues that are troubling all of you out there in the podcast universe. This time, we got a slew of great questions via email and social media and we’re going to do our best to get through as many as possible. The inquiries included advice on planting under trees, attracting hummingbirds, and info about what garden tasks we’re tackling during the dog days of summer. Tune in to see if we fielded your question, or if someone else’s problem spot is something you can relate to.   Photos for Danielle’s Questions Cardinal climber (Ipomoea × sloteri, annual) Earlybird™ Red White columbine (Aquilegia 'PAS1258484', Zones 4-9) Gatsby Gal® oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Brenhill', Zones 5-9) ‘Perry’s Gold’ Norway spruce (Picea abies ‘Perry’s Gold’, Zones 3–9) 'Stoplights' epimedium (Epimedium 'Stoplights', Zones 4-9) 'Spanish Flare' hellebore (Helleborus 'Spanish Flare', Zones 4-9)   Photos for Carol’s Questions Forest planting in India using the Miyawaki method Miyawaki forest 9 months after planting Northern red oak (Quercis rubra, Zones 4-8) Reminiscent® Pink rose (Rosa x 'BOZFRA021', Zones 4-8) Deadheaded flowers in Kielian DeWitt’s Montana garden Recently mulched section of Carol’s garden
