This Halloween episode of Let's Garden was a wild ride, folks. We had a caller who thought a mosquito plant would attract mosquitoes, but ended up repelling them instead. And if that wasn't enough, we also discussed some scary trees with sinister pasts, including the Devil's Tree in New Jersey and the Weish Elm in Worcestershire, England.

This hour was a bit of a departure from the usual gardening topics, but it was a fun and spooky way to celebrate the holiday. Our host chatted with a caller who was worried about attracting zombies to her yard, and offered some... creative solutions to the problem. We also heard from a caller who was looking for advice on how to care for her clumping bamboo, and another who was wondering if she could clip off the sides of her bamboo to shape it.

But don't worry, we didn't forget about the gardening tips and advice that our listeners love. Our host shared some great advice on how to care for a cashmere cypress tree and discussed the importance of using the right type of mulch to protect it from the elements. We also heard from a caller who was looking for a good yard sprayer that would last a long time.

If you're looking for a fun and spooky way to spend your Halloween evening, tune in to this hour of Let's Garden. We've got a caller who thinks she's a witch, a zombie apocalypse expert, and a host and producer who's just trying to keep it together.
