Are you familiar with the donut peach? If not, we will tell you all about it, on today’s edition of Fabulous Fruit Fridays. And we will shine the spotlight on one particularly delectable variety, the Scarlet Halo donut peach. Fruit tree expert Ed Laivo of tomorrowsharvest.com tells us all about it.
One of the more frequently asked questions we get here is, how long should I run a drip irrigation system. Our resident retired college horticulture professor, Debbie Flower answers that while contemplating the question of dying loropetalum shrubs.
You want to grow salad fixins in a hurry? We talk with Brad Gates from Wild Boar Farms, not about his tomatoes, but about a quick and easy way to grow greens, even in hot summer climates.
It’s all on episode 98 of the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, brought to you today by Smart Pots and TomorrowsHarvest.com
And we will do it all in under 30 minutes. Let’s go!
