Wow! What a fun and information packed show with CT Audubon's Patrick Cumins. We focused on attracting and providing for birds in winter but, as always, we also discussed Calla lilies, Canna lilies, lions, squirrels and bears...OH MY!.  Here are some great contact information and downloads.  Check out  CTAudubon.org and Back Yard Wildlife  for a great informational download.  Until next time...we'll see you in the garden.  -Len

It never ceases to amaze how it can be 20 degrees and we still can talk about gardening.  But then, the important things in life are worth talking about.  Mimosa trees, berries and birds, tremendous Veteran's Day tribute suggestion from Lobster Bob, forcing bulbs and much, much more.  Until next time...we'll see you in the garden.  Len

Mushy bulbs, Fall Fig maintenance and the best botanical places to visit this holiday season.  Plus much more.  Until next time...we'll see you in the garden.  Len

Lots of calls this week on subjects from stuffed pumpkin to hardy bananas.  Go figure!  National Farmer's Day brought about a veggie and fruit quiz and a few custom made hot sauces were reviewed in preparation for our annual Hot Sauce Show in January.  I'm ready this year... but then... I was ready in the past, too.  Time will tell.  We'll see you in the garden.  Len
