- Plant in loose soil
- Plant bulbs 3x the thickness
- Lilies last a long time
- Think about where shade may or may not be in spring
- The best and foolproof to plant are hyacinths, daffodils and alliums

Teresa O’Connor is a Master Gardener in California and Idaho. She is also the creator of Seasonal Wisdom, a writer, author, speaker and consultant about gardening, fresh foods, seasonal folklore and other topics, including social media.

1. Since we’re approaching fall, whats folklore and whats a good fall folklore for our listeners?
2. We get questions about edible flowers and I know its something people like to grow – what are some common edible flowers that can be grown in the Midwest, or even anywhere? What are important safety tips? What are some simple serving ideas?
3. You've taught people how to grow food for years as Seasonal Wisdom. Why did you start FarmFreshLowCarbLiving.com?
4. Why are vegetables so important for this type of lifestyle? How is this different from a typical diet in the United States?
5. What are the best vegetables for people with Type 2 diabetes or someone on a low carb diet? How can you grow them at home?
6. How can we find out more information about you?
