Über diesen Podcast
Tom and Darrin take a light-hearted look at gardening in the Four Corners and Southwest Colorado. Darrin is the CSU Extension Director in La Plata County and Tom runs GrowFoodWell.com. Each week, Garden Guys topics could include: growing a diversity of fruits and vegetables in a challenging climate; tips on seeding, planting, processing, and eating the bounty around us; garden disasters (and how to avoid them); and storing, canning, and preserving. Got a question for the guys?They might have the answers. If not, they'll make something up.
