In this episode, we talk with Barbara W. Ellis, author of Container and Small-Space Gardening for the South, about containers for hot and humid climates. The plant profile is on Hollyhocks and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events and this week's garden tasks in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on the Dog Days of Summer from Christy Page of Green Prints.
