Description

This weeks episode of The Farm Report is all about gardening! Host Erin Fairbanks chats with Willi Galloway, a Portland-based gardener and author of Grow Cook Eat: A Food Lovers Guide to Vegetable Gardening, Including 50 Recipes, Plus Harvesting and Storage Tips. Erin happens to be a novice gardener; tune in to hear Willis suggestions for good herbs and vegetables for those who are just starting a garden. Learn about some essential gardening tools and their uses. Later, Melissa Metrick, the head gardener at Robertas, joins Erin in the studio to talk about gardening in a dynamic, ever-evolving space. Hear about the multitude of fruit, vegetables, herbs, and flowers grown in the Robertas garden. Once again, Erin wraps up the show by checking in with the GrowNYC Greenmarket. Listen in to hear from Jeanne Hodesh, Greenmarket publicity coordinator! This episode has been sponsored by Hearst Ranch. No matter where you live, a community garden is a great place to garden because you get to interact with people, and there are usually good gardeners there. The best way to become a better gardener is to observe other people and talk with them about what theyre doing. -- Willi Galloway on The Farm Report
