Winter lawns

Jeff revisits his disdain for poinsettias while introducing some great winter alternatives: holiday cacti. He breaks down various cacti for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, highlighting how shortening days and cool nights trigger their growth. Jonathan adds that amaryllis are also superb holiday plants.

After the break, the team discusses ways to care for a lawn in winter, particularly in places that don't get much snow but experience prolonged deep frosts.

Finally, they address a listener question about the benefits of growing regionally adapted seeds.
