Host Glen Andresen and co-pilot Jim Gilbert present a pre-recorded show, recorded a week before show time. We're getting the first fruits of the season; how many have you eaten? Plus, a primer on trickle irrigation, good for just about any situation, from acres to raised beds. And, because you may need it sometime, how to hand pollinate fruits and vegetables.
As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (Arctic Beauty kiwi) and a new Garden Stumper--the first listener who emails thedirtbag@kboo.org 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 "drop," as in watering. Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term is "seed stratification." 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 this month.
The Dirtbag, a garden variety show... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
