It’s a long, long way to spring. But fall’s just around the
corner. And on the next
“Gardening in Georgia,” host Walter Reeves will show a
few things you can do
this fall to make your spring even brighter.

On the Sept. 6 and 9 show on Georgia Public Television,
Reeves
will show how to plant
beautiful perennials properly so they’ll have great blooms next
spring.

Building Bluebird
Boxes

He’ll visit with Season Platt, a naturalist at Callaway
Gardens, to find out how to
build and mount bluebird boxes that will attract these radiant
birds to your yard.

Reeves will show how growers make so many leaves come from one
caladium bulb, too, by
removing the central core to force dormant buds to emerge. He’ll
show how to wield an
apple peeler.

Finally, Reeves will show how to make your garden chores much
easier with sharp-bladed
tools. He’ll demonstrate the right way to sharpen a shovel and a
hoe.
