Host Glen Andresen and guest Jim Gilbert Jim Gilbert discuss harvesting fruits and veggies at their peak flavor. And, are your plants ready for a week of HOT temps? Plus, it's time to prune those espaliered (and other) fruit trees. And Jim's been traveling again, this time visiting an apricot breeder in New Jersey.

As always, we'll answer your gardening questions, have a new Plant of the Month (peaches and nectarines), define our Dirtbag Dictionary words (apical dominance), quiz you with a new Garden Stumper, and, maybe this will become a new "feature," what's annoying Glen this month!

The Dirtbag... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
