April In the Garden

Send us Fan Mail Once again, it is time for another This Month In The Garden – our regular In The Garden with UC Master Gardeners show for what to do in the garden for a given month. It’s April so there is so much to focus on this month. It’s the “bloomiest time of the year”! Perennials from last year are taking off again! Vegetable gardening is always the big consideration right now so we’ll open the show with lots about everyone’s favorite veggie/fruit/veggie ... what have you – the Tomatoes! We’ll say tomatoes, plural, because you won’t believe the variety that is available. You’ll have a lot to decide in terms of color and size of fruit, ultimate size of plant, how you will support each plant. And of course, is the plant Determinate (D) or Indeterminate (I)? Learn what that means. Enough for an entire show on Tomatoes? Stay tuned for that coming soon!The second half of the show is on Flowers! Our co-host Teena Spindler is the expert on that! She and Katrina Kirkeby have been doing these shows for around 12 years now and they play off each other wonderfully. Join us!
