Nothing is deer proof, but these shrubs and plants have not been bothered by the deer.

In Season 4 episode 2 of In Doug’s Garden by Davey Tree I'm exploring the Pittsburgh Sakura Project in North Park where beautiful flowering cherry trees are planted for a special reason. Also dealing with storm damage and thrilled to show off an important tree survivor, planting heirloom pole beans with a sad historic story, answering "why doesn't my hydrangea bloom?" and recommending an easy to grow shrub. Rob Kruljac from The Davey Tree Expert Company tells us how to deal with fungal issues on our trees.

My guest on Sunday May 4th was PeggyAnne Montgomery from Flowerbulbs.com to discuss spring bulb planting season and will have some great ideas to plant caladiums, dahlias, elephant ears, tuberous begonias, lilies and much more.
You can win a $100 dollar gift certificate for spring bulbs.

We begin season four by planting spring greens (as usual, only with a surprise). Rob Kruljac from Davey discusses the importance of planting native trees. Check out this week's "You Should Grow This," because you should! I'm answering a garden question about saving tomato seeds too. Then we visit a garden that I believe has the greatest collection of blooming daffodils.

We had a lot of fun on Pittsburgh Today Live. We were talking about cool weather vegetables and flowers along with planting an edible container. I even got David and Daisy to eat some pansies!
