279 Fall Gardening Basics

Despite the triple digit temperatures of late August and early September, this is the time to be planning your fall garden, including starting the seeds of some of the healthiest, most nutritious vegetables that you can grow. America’s favorite retired college horticultural professor, Debbie Flower answers the fall garden questions of a college student who wants to try to grow a cool season garden for the first time.
And, nursery owner Don Shor talks about the best varieties of vegetables to try in your fall and winter garden. That interview was originally aired in September 2022.
It’s episode number 279, Fall Garden Basics.

We’re podcasting from Barking Dog Studios here in the beautiful Abutilon Jungle in Suburban Purgatory. It’s the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, brought to you today by Smart Pots, Dave Wilson Nursery and Heirloom Roses. Let’s go!
