You know the gardening season is on hot and heavy when the phone board is full all show long. We had a good conversation about Mock Orange. If you don't have one...well...just listen to the podcast's first hour. Lots of good questions, some good answers and always a ton of fun.

When is pesto not pesto. Truly a question for the ages that we tried to answer on this show. Lots of questions on all subjects from planting grass seed, to pruning boxwood. Our 'Great moments in gardening" segment focused on the benefits of having plants in your home. Wow. They really do a lot to make our lives better without us even noticing. We'll see you in the garden!

What happens when a normally pleasant radio host gets grumpy from cabin fever and the switch to daylight savings time? Replay this edition of Garden Talk and find out. Thank goodness we have wonderful listeners to calm the "grumps". Sage advice and predictions from the Farmers Almanac again coming true...how do they do that? And of course...your calls.

Spring must be looming because the phones rang off the hook with questions, comments and all sorts of new and interesting gardening ditties. As always, on-air snacking was discussed in depth.

Yes it's cold and snowy out there, but what about a white Christmas or beyond.  We had an inspiring interview with Peter Geiger, editor of the Farmer's Almanac covering many topics illustrated in this year's 200th edition. (He doesn't look a year over 150). Why is February 2018 going to be a bad month for werewolves? The almanac will tell you.  Lots of fun at the on-air Garden Talk Christmas party complete with Skipper the Squirrel's poetic rendition of a "Squirrel's Christmas".  Many calls, many answers.  This special edition of Garden Talk will be rebroadcast next Saturday, Dec. 23 while Bob and I are frantically preparing for Christmas Eve festivities.  Have a joyous and blessed holiday...see you in the garden.
