Getting a start in gardening can be a daunting process. In today’s show, host Douglas Haynes sat down with Lisa Johnson, a horticulture educator at UW’s Dane County Extension, and Nicholas Leete, Community Gardens Network Director at Rooted Wisconsin to share some gardening tips and tricks here in Southern Wisconsin.

The conversation covers how to get started gardening in Wisconsin, what fruits and vegetables are doing well this year, and what a changing climate means for the region. The guests also talk about the pests that come with a wet spring, new fruit varietals that are now options, and what to do about all those pesky mammals that find their way into your garden.
