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. 

They let us out of the studio again! We accost patrons at the Durango Farmers Market to see why they support our local farmers and ranchers. 

July is a chance to sit back, enjoy your garden while it's growing - observe what's successful, what you'd change next year, and learn from your hands-on experience.

We enter the doldrums of summer with some tips to keep up with the garden beds, the weeds, and the compost pile.

Tom interviews while Darrin works. Hmmm.... And a couple secrets come forward as Tom gets Beth, Darrin's wife, to divulge some dirt.
