In this special 2-part edition of the Lincoln County Gardner, new host Katy talks with Master Gardeners Larry and Ross about how to select healthy plants from nurseries and big-box stores. They talk about how to spot diseased plants and why you might not want to pick a plant on the discount rack. Indoor and outdoor plants are covered.

This episode is also special because it celebrates the anniversary of "The Lincoln County Gardener." This is our 52 episode!

Outdoor plants like these petunia baskets are grown in a greenhouse. Even though they are sun-loving, they may get sunburned if put out under the sun. They will need to be acclimatized. Also, Annuals grown in the greenhouse are used to perfect temperatures. Don't buy them until the night temperatures at your home will sustain them. Image by Talwinder Singh Chhokar from Pixabay
