In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we talk with Debra Knapke, known as the Garden Sage, all about soil care basics. The plant profile is on Globe Amaranth and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on Max, Mia, and the Sunflowers by Christy Page of GreenPrints.
