"A Very Berry Adventure"

On this episode of How Does Your Garden Grow? I took a trip to The Blueberry Farm in Walker County, GA. Joe and Simone Kilpatrick own and run the farm. I love blueberries so much ,and I've wanted to start my own bushes for some time now. So Joe told me all about how to plant and nurture my berry bushes, and I even learned about blackberries as well. After getting my young seedlings, I then went home and put them in the ground. I am happy to say they have grown a bit since I planted them last fall. I even had a few blackberries this summer! Planting blueberries does take a lot of patience since it takes at least 3 years for your bushes to start producing. But, once they do, your patience will be rewarded! Try planting some for yourself.

"Fall Decorating"




Fall is here and it's time to get out those pumpkins and cornstalks and ornamental corn! I love this time of the year. You can make your yard come alive with fall decorations. On this show, I make some cute and simple scare crows using items I already had at home. I also show you some neat ways to make your outdoor fall party even more fun. And to go along with it, I throw in some pumpkin trivia to test your knowledge on the subject. So join us for a lot of fall fun on this episode of How Does Your Garden Grow?
