  • Lively conversation call in show

    Gardening and growing fruit is a hobby of mine and I love hearing my fellow gardeners and hobby growers chat about new and solid time tested growing techniques. It's a nice hour spent with good regular people collaborating to solve problems and share information. Love the call-in aspect of this show-- it makes it lively and accessible.

  • I've been listening to a random selection from the *extensive* backlog and keeping up with new releases. This is a show that has consistently high quality information, guests and production quality. By far my go-to listen for gardening info, and now that my planting season is over here in zone 3, it will be my little piece of growing season to keep that fire alive until April when I can start my seedlings again.
