Fruit tree expert Ed Laivo of TomorrowsHarvest.com returns with another sweet treat of a winner for Fabulous Fruit Fridays. It’s the Golden Sweet Apricot, a tasty fruit that can be grown throughout most of the country,  all the way down to USDA Zone 5. 

Plus, we have fruit tree planting tips for you, tips that will help insure the success of your new fruit tree or fruit bushes. 

There's another way being a gardener can make you healthier: whenever you give someone an extra plant or the harvest from your garden, you are demonstrating the art of kindness. That's an artwork that can make you feel better, too!

It’s all on episode 86 of the Garden Basics podcast, brought to you by Smart Pots and Tomorrows Harvest. And we will do it all in under 30 minutes. Let’s go!
