Last fall you had an author on your show to talk about harvesting seeds. He wrote a book with a very long title. I can’t remember the whole name of the book but the last part was something like . . . everything the Mormon pioneers new that you need to know. I sure would like to find that book. Would you please e-mail me the name and authors name? Thanks

Hi Joy,
It was so nice meeting you at the Relief Society activity tonight in Pittsburgh. You have so much knowledge and I am so happy you shared it with us! I just ordered your two books and can’t wait to get my hands on them. Thanks again!

That is covered in the Master Gardener classes, which I wholeheartedly recommend, but you may want to take another class dedicated to just landscape design.

I’m in Utah County. By any chance are any of those classes in Utah County?

Yes, it does but you can attend a specific class for design, which might suit this situation better. Depending on where you live, check out Thanksgiving Point, Ogden Botanical Garden, Utah Central Gardens, Utah Botanical Center, JVWCD Conservation Garden Park, and Wasatch Community Gardens. Many of those classes are free.

Hi Joy,
I’m trying to landscape a mound on my side yard and I just don’t know where to start. Should I plant in sections or just put plants where I think they look good. How do the landscapers do it?

Does the Master Gardener class cover that sort of thing?

The dandelions are actually of some benefit to your bees – they often provide the earliest pollen, especially if the weather is fickle. Are they becoming a problem in all parts of your lawn?
If you want to use a chemical control, use a broadleaf weed killer in the evening, after the bees return to the hives. Spray just the center of each plant. For a large area, use a pressure sprayer and add Spreader Sticker to the solution.
The safest way to remove them is to dig when the soil is moist. DON’T use a weed and feed product on the lawn.
