Anybody in the mood for something just plain pretty at the moment, something to search the seed catalogs for, choosing among the many wildly colorful varieties, and then get ready to sow? Something hopeful and bright? Me too! After I saw a photo of a bed of snapdragons the other day from last year’s garden of today’s guest, I thought they might just be the thing to bring us all some delight, so Joseph Tychonievich is here to entice us further and tell us how.

Joseph Tychonievich is a writer, a plant breeder and of course a gardener—and the creator of josephgardens.com and a Substack newsletter by the same name. It was in his latest Substack post that I saw the photo of his lavish display of snapdragons from last year’s garden, and called him up to ask for more information. Joseph gardens in South Bend, Ind., and I’m glad he made time to talk to us today from there.
