Garden Guys
Saturdays at noon
Tom and Darrin take a light-hearted look at gardening in the Four Corners and Southwest.
Darrin is the Western Region Director at the CSU Extension office, and Tom runs Grow Food Well.Com and is a longtime Four Corners gardener.
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!
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
