About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of recent rain on drought conditions and offers gardening advice.

This week on the WJBO Lawn & Garden Show with Clegg's Nursery , Butch and Braden wonder if our recent downpours are any help with our drought conditions - and also why you don't want to plant right now, even if it would be really easy to dig a hole! And what issues the rain brings for your vegetable gardens. The two also go over not only last-minute Mother's Day gifts, they'll suggest the ones that will keep Mom happy well past Sunday. There's also a reminder of what you can plant right now, including okra and peppers!
