We dig into the enormous bag of email questions and try to answer a few (at least the easy ones). Growing in containers, how to read a seed packet, and doth thou inoculate thy beans and peas?

This week the Garden Guys had a site visit to Beet Street Farm in the Animas valley north of Durango.  Brian & Stacey Petrie, and Chad Goodale let us in on some of the details of running a local farm.  The good, the challenging, and the ugly garlic…

Just kidding. We discovered nothing, but do give some good ideas on how to manage. PLUS: another Garden Guys department - Mistakes Garden Guys Make (MGGM) and our inquiries into artificial intelligence.

Tom and Darrin sneak out of the studio to go visit a new(er) gardener's backyard where we find worms, onions, and corn transplants, oh my!

Two good news stories from the Garden Guys Good News Department (second left in the basement, by the boiler): Colorado’s ‘Right to Repair’ bill passes and why dandelions are so helpful. Plus we pontificate on why growing one's food helps feed the soul at the same time it feeds one's belly.

The Garden Guys discuss facing the garden tasks of spring, and how one of the best starting points is choosing the right crops for our growing season length here in the Mountain West.

So many questions this week…. starting seedlings under lights, replacing peat moss with coir, ‘air-pruning’ with soil blocks, and have you ever tried Trombone squash?

Tom and Darrin get their Zen on, pontificating about insects, diversity in the garden, letting things go, and even throwing out some made up words like procrastgardening and procrastplanting

In this first Garden Guys podcast for the 2023 season hosts Darrin and Tom talk about:

- How abnormal is the new normal as far as the weather goes

- Managing the Impact of soil temperatures on spring planting

- Seed sale recap

- Darrin’s medical adventure. 

- Making healthy food choices, even if you can’t grow a garden

We reached 20 - we're almost legal! We cover a bevy of topics - thinning, irrigation, and farmer market bucks - before we take a bit of a breather.
