Host Glen Andresen and co-pilot Jim Gilbert are again in the studio live, so give us a call! It's time for dormant pruning of fruit trees, and we've got the how and when answers, from apples to kiwis...and what NOT to prune now. Plus, yep, cold weather is finally arriving and it's time for sharpening tools and ordering seeds and plants--it's perfect timing to do the latter inside while the former is revealing itself outside And, where you can see Jim and Joe's "An Oregon Story" documentary on the big screen this month.
As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (planting potatoes in the fall for summer harvest) and a new Garden Stumper (the winner gets a free sharpening of a hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland!). Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term is "chilling period." And, of course, what's annoying Glen this month...or at least what he's been thinking about.
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.
The Dirtbag, a garden variety show... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
