In this episode, we talk with Carol Connare, The Old Farmer's Almanac editor-in-chief, about using the almanac in garden planning. The plant profile is on Stokes Aster and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events and this week's garden tasks in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on the Cranberry Debate from Christy Page of Green Prints.
