Julie Hoffman of East River Nursery in Huron was the featured guest on today’s Garden Hotline. Topics discussed included: planting bulbs, trees and shrubs now for successful growth next spring; how to ensure that perennials we plant now will survive the winter; transplanting peonies and other blooming perennials now instead of waiting until next year; and the new varieties of apple trees that offer less messy fruit and a wider variety of color.
