Pruning persimmon and kiwis, mulch materials, and chilling hours.

Host Glen Andresen is happy to have guest Jim Gilbert back, and it's a good thing as we have lots to talk about, including pruning kiwis and persimmons, suggestions about what you can use for mulch, and a topic to maybe to make you feel a bit better about cold weather--chilling hours and why many plants need them to thrive. And, do you know when to capitalize named varieties of fruits and vegetables? Let us know what you think!

As always, we'll answer your gardening questions, have a new Plant of the Month (Triple Crown blackberry), quiz you with a new Garden Stumper, and fill you in on what's going on in the honey bee hive this month.

The Dirtbag... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
