Joining the Outdoor Hour this week is Jay with Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company, plus Julie Murphee with the Arizona Farm Burea!

Tip of the Week: For much of Arizona, frost should be out of the picture now.  Let’s hope it’s true. (Unless you own a nursery)  With spring weeds are exploding & the bugs are getting busy in the garden.

  • Julie & Jay talk about the flower industry in Arizona. It’s huge!
  • Julie talks about our retail market for flowers with Green Creek Gardens in Dewey.
  • Lavender is big here too.

Email from a Listener:

  • They want to get rid of a saguaro cactus in her yard. Is there someone that can remove it for transplant instead of just cutting it down?

Recommendation – She can call a specialty company if it’s accessable. She shouldn’t count on making any money.

Text from a Listener:

  • What can I do to kill everything in his grass, except the grass?

Recommendation – There are a variety of herbicides that he can use that will do it. Jay explains the tricks to success.  Pulling them is an option, but he can take down a few examples to a nursery for recommendations.
