Knowledge:
Finding a Farmer's Market
 If you'd like to talk
personally to the person who harvested the corn, picked the tomatoes or
packed the parsley you eat, there is no better place than a local
farmer's market. Several have sprung up in recent years, both intown
and in the suburbs. I've
collected a big list - make plans to visit and be sure to bring the
kids!
Listen this Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and I'll give you more information
about vegetable gardening. |
Come see me in this weekend!
Come see me this weekend! I'll join Theresa Schrum and Bruce Holliday
for a live radio broadcast this Saturday at the Toco
Hill Pike Family Nursery on LaVista Rd. On May 12 we'll be at
Champion Windows and Patio Rooms for a morning of garden radio
excellence!
Listen Saturday morning 6:00 a.m. before you start working in your yard
to learn more about lawn care!
Watch me on "Gardening in
Georgia" this week - I'll talk about growing ferns and peaches. |

Georgia Gardener Newsletter 
We are now four weeks past the hard freeze of
Easter weekend. Surprisingly, many plants are slow showing signs of
recovery. The forests in the North Georgia mountains look bare as if it
were February and not May. Learn more about which plants were hit
hardest and what you should do now.
