*** Season 2 Valentines Day Special: Huntington Botanical Gardens - A Love Story ***
=======================================================
David Walrod takes you on a Valentines Day Adventure at the Huntington Botanical Gardens. In this episode you'll get quick tour, a love story, and learn how to prune and care for the flower that symbolizes love - the Rose. So grab your loved one and enjoy the first Urban Dirt Valentines Day Special.
UPDATE: I spoke more about Rose Feeding with Laurie Jutzi after filming. She said another reason to hold off on premature rose bush feeding is to prevent aphid infestation. Time your application of rose food as spring's young leaves have turned from red to green. Rose bushes do love fertilizer, so regular feeding March through October is beneficial. Try using organic blends that feed the soil, rather than synthetic fertilizers that directly feed the plant...this will also help keep the pest's a little more subdued. -David Walrod
