Is there an apricot variety that reliably produces fruit west of the Cascades? And time to start a few vegetable seeds!

Host Glen Andresen welcomes Jim Gilbert back to the fold to talk about his ongoing project to find or breed a variety of apricot that does well AND produces fruit reliably west of the Cascades. Plus, what's with this crazy February weather? Well, it's perfectly normal. And we're on the doorstep of vegetable seed starting. What seeds can be started now?

As always, we'll answer your gardening questions, have a new Plant of the Month (apricots), define our Dirtbag Dictionary words (soil aeration), quiz you with a new Garden Stumper, and fill you in on what's going on in the honey bee hive this month.

The Dirtbag... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
