PODCAST: On this episode of WGNS Action Line, host Scott Walker welcomes certified Master Gardeners Sue Alexander and Carol Wood from the UT TSU Agriculture Extension Service of Rutherford County for an in-depth conversation about lawns, landscapes, and what Middle Tennessee gardeners can expect in the months ahead.

With recent cold snaps leaving many homeowners wondering what survived, Alexander and Wood break down which plants weathered the freeze, which may need attention, and how shifting conditions could shape the upcoming summer growing season. From turf care and pruning tips to planting timelines and soil health, the discussion offers practical guidance for both new and experienced gardeners.

The Master Gardeners also fielded a wide range of listener questions submitted by text, providing real-time advice tailored to local conditions in Rutherford County. Before wrapping up, they reminded listeners about the Winter/Spring Farmers Market, held every Friday from 8:00 a.m. to noon at the Lane Agri-Park — a great opportunity to support local growers and find seasonal produce and goods.

Whether you’re planning flower beds, vegetable gardens, or simply trying to rescue your lawn after winter weather, this episode delivers timely insight straight from the experts.
