Host Glen Andresen and co-pilot Jim Gilbert are in the KBOO studio for a live April show. It didn't happen last month, but we hope to have an expert join us to help analyze and make sense of soil tests. And a primer on the proper way to plant a potted plant. Also, we offer stern words of advice: You must thin certain vegetables for optimum plant health and yield! Plus, an update on the Classroom Edition of An Oregon Story.
As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (cherry tomatos) and a new Garden Stumper--the first listener who calls in with the correct answer gets a free sharpening of a gardening hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland. Our musical theme this month is "Kings We Do Want." Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term is "IPM." And finally, what Glen is trying to understand this month.
Don't forget, if you have a gardening question, and don't want to call in, you can always email us at thedirtbag@kboo.org -- we'll answer your question on the air during the next show. And, surprise, this is the same email to use to answer The Garden Stumper if you don't want to call in.
The Dirtbag, a garden variety show... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
