Description

These are the ones to watch!

The McFarlands celebrate their 6 year anniversary discussing the all-stars of the autumnal season on this week's episode of The Growing Season. 

Canada geese kick off the show.  Lynne discusses what she learned over the last year.  Jack and Matt chime in. 

Potentillas, sprinklers and irrigation also feature.  

Silver linings and record breaking heat during the summer months are also correlated. 

Jack rants about fall colour change.  Is it stress or is it actual fall colour. 

The science of fall colour change is highlighted. Why is the summer solstice so important?

Red maples vs. Crimson King maple. Jack wonders if the newer, more bespoke varieties of plants, are more susceptible to stress. 

Sedum, black eyed susie, birch, ginkgo, 

The PARKLAND PILLAR BIRCH!   OHHHHH BABY!  Matt gushes. Then he gushes some more. 

Japanese maples feature prominently in the discussion.  Are there fall coloured varieties with the Japanese Maple? 

Unusual?  Lets talk about the 'Flamethrower Redbud.'

Why don't we use the Amur Maple more? The trio discuss. Why did we stop using Viburnums?

Ornamental grasses can be glorious in the fall. 

Tune in.
