In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we chat with Jon Traunfeld, Program Director of the UMD Home & Garden Information Center, all about growing figs. The plant profile is on Cleome and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out Dr. Allan Armitage**, who returns to share the Last Word on Plant Critters.
