We'll talk about outdoor design, composting, vegetable gardens, tools and keeping them sharp to name just a few of the topics we'll cover.
Except for warm season vegetables, January throughMarch is a good time to plant so that new plants can establish themselves before the heat of summer arrives.
Brrr .. it's cold outside! Well, there is still stuff to do in the garden this time of year. This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we revisit an important show from 2015 (NOTE any dated information in this show as past events) for winter tasks in the garden.
UC Master Gardener Ann Liu will talk with fellow Master Gardener Jon Schara about winter care for the fruit trees in your garden.
They will discuss important topics like proper pruning, pre-treatment for potential pests and disease, and what certain fruit require for “chill hours”. Learn what “chill hours” really means! AND learn how to store that rainwater we so desperately need to save. Cozy up to your radio and learn the hottest gardening tips around!

This week on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners, we bring you a gem of a show! Our beloved Master Gardener and original radio DJ Mark Fierle produced a show called “Specialty Vegetable Gardening” some time back.
He talked to fellow MG Greg Stevenson about Greg's passion for home gardening using his innately technical mindset.
Learn first about compost and soil. Then, edible landscaping and their watering needs. And speaking about watering needs, learn about SIPs! Sub-irrigation Planters! Perfect for small spaces and areas where water leakage out through the bottom of pots isn't desirable. Lots of information on today's show so take notes for the 2022 gardening year!
