This is Episode 100! Can you believe it? One hundred episodes of tips, tricks, weather watches, and all things gardening in our beautiful region. Thank you so much for listening, sharing, and growing along with me.

It's mid-March 2026, spring is knocking at the door, and this is one of those exciting transitional weeks where we get to do some key prep work before everything bursts into life.

Folks, if you've been missing my voice, I’ve got exciting news: I’m back to weekly episodes! That's right—no more bi-weekly waits as outdoor gardening starts to ramp up.

I’m John Morgan, your slightly muddy, always-enthusiastic host, and I gotta tell ya… after weeks of that deep freeze that had us all bundled up like human burritos, it finally feels like Mother Nature hit the “thaw” button. So grab your favorite mug of coffee (or tea if you’re fancy), put your feet up, and let’s talk about the very first thing we should be doing outside right now: clearing and mulching those flowerbeds the smart way.
