- Program Description
Roger Swain is at the tulip bed to remove the plants down to the bulb (making room for summer annuals). He will let the foliage die back before he transplants the bulbs for a 2nd year of bloom. At the apple tree ‘Liberty' (disease resistent), he tells us that the young fruit has been sprayed to prevent insects. The modern blackberry ‘Chester' (thornless) is an easy fruit to grow. Raspberries ‘Taylor' are even hardier.
Holly Shimizu is on the remote island of “Nonsuch” (Bermuda), with Dr. David Wingate. Dr. Wingate is devoted to restoring Bermuda's native cedar trees as well as other native plant species.
Chef Marian visits with chef Neville King of Elbow Beach. He prepares battered Bermuda onions.
Roger closes with plant-of -the-week: ‘white lights' azalea, that has a spicy clove-like fragrance.
