Window boxes can give you the glorious color of summer
flowers. But like hanging
baskets, they can be hard to keep watered.

On "Gardening in Georgia" April 27 and 29, host
Walter Reeves will show how
to use hydrogels to conserve moisture in window boxes. The gel,
mixed with the soil,
absorbs the water and releases it over time in the box.

Reeves will show how to build a wattle fence, too, to
protect your ornamentals and
serve as a focal point in the landscape.

Finally, he’ll show how to prune crape myrtles, removing
seed pods and cutting out
branches in the middle.
