| 8/28/26 | Invasive maneuvers | The woods may be lovely, dark and deep, but most Iowa woodlands are plagued with invasive species. On this episode, we talk with DNR District Forester Mark Vitosh about the non-native invasive plants that we should be concerned about in Iowa forests and some management techniques. | 12m 47s | ||||||
| 8/21/26 | Lawn and order | One of the perennial questions we field is when to plant grass seed. The answer is right now.

We also talk about the fall lawn chores you should have on your horizon. | 12m 53s | ||||||
| 8/19/26 | BONUS: Weeding out the competition | It’s state fair season and the Iowa State Fair has a competition for everything from biggest boar to longest beard to the best pie.

| 8/14/26 | Feeling symp-tomato-ic? | Eating a ripe tomato fresh from the garden is one of the true pleasures of summer, but growing tomatoes can be challenging — especially if your plants get hit by disease.

| 7/31/26 | Happily ever aster | If your yard and landscape look worse for the wear after a few weeks extreme heat, maybe it's time to think about a refresh.
