Tonia Lordy, Executive Director of the Home Orchard Education Center, joins us; plus pineapple quave, raised bed building, and Jim's travels

Host Glen Andresen is live in the studio with Tonia Lordy, the Executive Director of the Home Orchard Education Center. And Jim Gilbert, freshly home from Australia, will be joining us live via phone. Tonia will get us up to speed with what is happening at the Center and let us know about some great classes and opportunites that are available. We will also continue our series on building and using raised beds and talk about pinapple guave breeders (from Australian, perhaps?).

As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (cucumbers) and a new Garden Stumper (the winner gets a free sharpening of a hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland). Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term  is "cross pollination."  And, of course, what's annoying Glen this month...or at least what he's been thinking about!

Don't forget, if you have a gardening question, and don't want to call in, you can always email us at thedirtbag@kboo.org -- we'll answer your question on the air during the next show.

The Dirtbag, a garden variety show... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
