Garden Guys
Saturdays at 12 noon.
Tom and Darrin take a light-hearted look at gardening in the Four Corners and Southwest. (Darrin is the Southwest Region CSU Extension Director. Tom runs Grow Food Well.Com and is a longtime Four Corners gardener.)
Each week, Garden Guys topics include:
- Growing a diversity of fruits and vegetables in a challenging climate.
- Tips on seeding, planting, processing, and eating the bounty around us.
- Garden disasters (and how to avoid them).
- Wintering, canning, and preserving.
- Tomato Whispering
Got a question for the guys? Send 'em here. They might have the answers. If not, they'll make something up. It's all in the spirit of cultivating a little fun!
