Kates Garden Journal » Radio Show http://www.katesgardenjournal.com Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:11:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 en hourly 1 Today on the Radio http://www.katesgardenjournal.com/today-on-the-radio/ http://www.katesgardenjournal.com/today-on-the-radio/#comments Sat, 07 Mar 2009 12:48:22 +0000 Kate http://www.katesgardenjournal.com/?p=267 Well today is the real test of whether I can hold down two radio shows. The first show, at 10 this morning, is the Master Gardener Hour and my guest is a local landscaper. Unfortunately, she had a few problems, and will be phoning in rather than coming into the station.  Then I get an hour break before the America’s Home Grown Veggie Show at noon. After much frantic searching this week, I hit gold yesterday. Today I have Ellen Zachos, a New York author who is going to talk about veggies in containers, and next week we are going to have Doug Green, who has a new vegetable book coming out this spring. Then we get local CSA and market gardeners. The whole show will take a week or two to settle into some sort of order and rhythm, but we are off to a good start.

SNOW????????   Apparently the rain from yesterday has turned to drizzle this morning and is going to degenerate into snow by this afternoon.  I am sure it will be just a bit of the damp wet sort of snow, but darn it, I am ready for spring.  If the snow arrives, look for a picture this afternoon.

Until then I am watching my little seedlings.  I finally sowed the first batch last Thursday, and some of them are already showing signs of germination. Mainly the lettuces and basil.  I realised when I was looking at them that I do not have a purple basil.  I will just have to order a bunch more seeds because just one packet, plus postage is a waste.  I wonder what else I will feel compelled to order?

Yesterday on the new radio show (www.radiosandysprings.com Americas  Home Grown Veggie Show ) we talked about sowing seeds, average first frost, and getting way too many seedlings – one of my failings.  The show was great fun, so take a listen when it is online.
