Charle and Dean are entertaining while communicating a wealth of information. I’m from the USA and look forward to your show
You should already know this by some of the call-ins you get, but there are many gardeners from the US who listen. The hateful things you continue to say and infer on the air about us is disappointing. What our govt does is not reflect all of its citizens. Shame on you.
I enjoy listening to these two while I garden. I’ve managed to get attached to them.
It’s a happy helpful show!

I find these two a total pleasure to listen to!
