Dahlias are a popular summer flower. On the next “Gardening in
Georgia,” host Walter Reeves shows how you can get many more
dahlias for your money by rooting cuttings from a dahlia plant
early in the summer.
Reeves also explains the importance of keeping your mower blade
sharp. And he shows an easy way to examine and replace your
blade.
Georgia appears to be headed for another hot, dry summer. How
much water do you use on your landscape plants? Reeves shows how
to do a water audit with a watch and a 5-gallon bucket.
