In this episode, we talk with horticulturist Carol Allen about food safety in the garden. The plant profile is on Acanthus 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 How Not to Kill Your Blueberries from Christy Page of Green Prints.
