I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this interview. Mary Jo Hoffman started StillBlog.net with a personal project in 2012 to post one photo of nature each day on a white background.
It was met with resounding praise and she is still going. Having been featured on Marth Stewart, Midwest Living, Better Homes & Gardens and many more, Mary Jo is just a treasure.
In this episode of the Minnesota Gardening Podcast, we explore nature, Mary's process, and - my favorite part - the six seasons.
Enjoy!

We have had an incredibly unseasonable December with temps many degrees above normal across the state.
In some places, this has caused plants to break dormancy and start growing. In this episode I teach all about how plants enter and exit dormancy and what consequences we may face for the plants breaking dormancy early this winter.

This is a continuation of my rant (?) episode on Tuesday about invasive plants. Minnesota Gardening Club members should work to remove invasive plants in their landscape this weekend. Even if you love them.
-
Is this a sorry, not sorry moment? I think it is.
It really does suck though. Many plants that we have long known as great landscape plants are becoming invasive due to climate change and other factors. We must remove them from our home landscape. Again...sorry.
In this episode, we discuss what plants you need to remove and why. -
November is notorious for temps going up and down and teasing us with the final throes of Fall versus the full on winter months.
There are two things you should do this weekend if you haven't yet:
Plant Garlic
If you haven't planted any garlic yet, I suggest giving it a try. It is definitely one of the easier food garden plants to grow.
How to grow garlic
It is really pretty easy and we have a great podcast episode you can listen to --> Grow Garlic.
Here are the basics:
Head to one of the final Farmers Markets in your community of the year and grab some hardneck garlic.Split the head up into cloves.Toss the clove in the ground about 6" apart and ½" deep.COOOLD
Garlic needs a winter cold period to create a head of garlic for next year. If it doesn't get a cold period, it will just grow as one weird giant clove. The cold gets it to grow in multiple cloves.
However, garlic does not need a cold period to sprout and will toss a new shoot up in the fall if you plant it too early and we have warm weather. So wait until your fingers will be frozen while planting. That is the time.
Hardneck
There are two types of garlic: hardback and softneck. Sometimes - been there / done that - garden stores will try and sneak soft neck garlic on the shelves. It doesn't work great here but some folks have had success. I haven't.
You'll know it is hardback garlic if the head of garlic has a stem sticking up from the center that is hard. Pretty sweet.
Bulbs
Bulbs are awesome. Many folks wig out this time of year because they bought bulbs and forget them on the garage shelf. Go ahead and plant them. They'll be good.
Here's a long post all about spring-flowering bulbs - Bulbs.
Have a great weekend!!!
Brad

Help your native insect, pollinator, bee, and caterpillar friends survive the winter; don't remove the leaves and stems that grew on your property this year.
This is going to save you a ton of time!
We have been learning more and more about the importance of emulating our natural forests and prairies to protect overwintering insects.
