48. This is July & We Love Hanging With Our Gnomies

<p>The start of July means summer is in full swing and our gardens are at the peak of the season. It is also a big month for garden maintenance. So we have gathered together over 20 tips on what you should be doing in your July garden - what not to plant, what you can plant, what to deadhead, how to get broccoli baby heads even if your original plant goes to seed. Plus:  helpful info on pinching, watering, weeding, staking, dividing, mulching. So many "ings!"</p> <p>Don’t know what a farrier is?  Neither did we. Christy thought it might be a grower and caretaker of fairies. (!) Edith has been waiting for years to use the word “Oyez” in a sentence and finally found a way! We revisit Christy’s Horrifying Ladybug Incident and a listener explains why not everyone’s pee changes smell if you eat asparagus. And then Ben Franklin mansplains about the issue.  (Go fly a kite, Benjamin, or at the very least stick to forming the US of A.)</p> <p>The Garden Gnomes return in two fun pod-plays made just for the gardener!</p> <p><a href='https://patron.podbean.com/upsidedowntulips'>Support UDT by joining our Garden Party and get fun rewards!</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.teepublic.com/stores/upside-down-tulips?ref_id=18140'>Get some NEW cool UDT Merch and Mulch it!</a></p> <p><a href='http://upsidedowntulips.com'>Visit our website for pix, more info and Upside Down Dictionary</a></p> <p><a href='http://upsidedowntulips.com/index.php/home/contact-us/'>Click here to write to us or join our newsletter! </a></p> <p><a href='https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates#states-and-provinces'>Find Your First and Last Frost Dates Here!</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.almanac.com/content/plant-hardiness-zones'>What is my Gardening Zone?  Find it Here!</a></p>
