Spring Planting Tips, Tree Selection, and Legislative Insights for ND Gardeners

He explains the differences between the two and why timing matters, especially in North Dakota’s unpredictable spring weather. The conversation moves into gardening tips, especially for those eager to get started early in the season.

For those wanting to brighten up their yards, he also shares which types of flowers hold up well in North Dakota’s climate and how to care for them throughout the season.

In addition to garden talk, Dr. Jake Schmitz joins the program to weigh in on some recent happenings in the state legislature. He offers insight on a few important issues lawmakers are currently facing and what the outcomes could mean for everyday North Dakotans. Whether you’re a longtime grower or just getting your hands dirty for the first time, this episode is packed with timely advice and local updates you won’t want to miss.
