I'm an answer person periodically on a call-in radio program for our university's Your Day Public Service Radio feed that goes throughout the state.
It's fun, and I'm glad to encourage gardeners of whatever knowledge
level to learn more and have fun doing it. I pitched in today as a
last-minute guest for my friend and colleague, Bob Polomski (and
substitute for a much more well-known gardening 'personality') - Felder
Rushing, whose Mississippi radio base needed to switch their focus to
Hurricane Isaac.
Today's calls were typical, from ornamentals to vegetables.
I'm
always reminded (and try to encourage folks) that learning about plants
is fun, and rewarding. Before adding landscape plants, learn about
them. Vegetables, ditto. If you've inherited an overgrown landscape, learn about what you have and prune things back judiciously.
Talk to your extension agent, too. He/she often knows a lot about what you're interested in planting.
