EDT Charles Fenyvesi will be here to field your questions and comments concerning ornamental gardening and horticulture.
Gardeners can do more than grow bulbs and stems.
On Thursdays at 11 a.m. EDT , Fenyvesi answers your questions about the flowers, vegetables and fruit that brighten your backyard. Gardening was a source of joy for Fenyvesi even at the age of 5, when he started planting runner beans in wartime Budapest. He has spent the past 10 years on seven and a half acres in rural Maryland, raising goats and expanding the plots around his house dedicated to flowers, vegetables, berries, and fruit and nut trees. Read today's discussion below. I had heard that in preparing a vegetable garden for next spring, one should mix 'leaf mold' into the soil in the fall.
