Join me today as we discuss…
- Gogi Berry
- Jujube
- Nanking Bush Cherry
- Blue Honeysuckle
- High Bush Cranberry
- Elderberry
- Clumping Bamboo

It is March 2nd and much of the North East just got over “Snowercane 10″, heck I am in Texas and I had an inch of snow last week and over 10 inches just two weeks ago. The northern half of the country has ground that is currently still frozen and I want to talk about gardening? You bet! The thaw is coming and odds are many are already behind the power curve.
Join me today as we discuss these steps
- Draw a sketch of your property including energy patterns
- Pick a few edible perennials to get up and running this year
- Estimate and plan for your planting dates
- Set up your late frost contingency plans
- Go through your potting equipment, clean, sort, organize
- Walk your entire property with new eyes
- Plan at least one passive water harvesting project for 2010
- Plan or begin the development of predator habitat
- Identify what is growing now and learn from that
- Plan one “hard scape” project for 2010

Tune in today as we discuss…
- Starting seeds vs. buying plants
- What can you grow now in many (not all places)
- Why you need a green house of some sort
- Thinking beyond the vegetable beds
- Winter is a good time to build things
- Mini green houses of all types
