Davis Garden Show, Sept. 9, 2021, Houseplants and water

Today's topics:

• Tomato problems this year
• Water needed for growing food is more than water needed to just grow foliage
• Almond trees
• Nematodes -- what are they and what to do if you have them
• House plants that are, and are not, easy to grow
• Don recommends for new gardeners: Golden pothos (and relatives), Easy ZZ, and Snakeplant (Sanserveria)
• Growing trees indoors
• Ficus benjamina  = flexible about lighting, but fussy when you move it.
• Is it too late to plant tomatos? Pepper? Pumpkins? YES, those get planted in the spring to be HARVESTED in the fall.
• Now is the time to start planning (and planting) your winter garden! (More details next show.)
