Our guest this morning was Steve Bartholomew, who has recently published the 3rd edition of his dad's book, Square Foot Gardening.   Not only that, but Steve is now the President of the Board of Directors of Square Foot Gardening Dot Org, a non-profit foundation carrying on the work of Mel Bartholomew. The vision of the foundation is to help end world hunger by teaching the world not how to fish, but how to garden efficiently and productively!

Edie starts us off at the top of the hour with this weeks' freshly picked crop of Gardening-related Events around the bay; with spring in the air, people are waking up in the gardening world:  Our full board of callers throughout the hour is testament to that!

Our guest at 8:30 was Matt Mattus, author of Mastering The Art of Vegetable Gardening -- a byieook that caught Bob's attention, and which he read cover to cover.  A guide to help navigate all the advice out there and yield good results for you.

Hour El Numero Dos starts off once again with Edie Tanem and her carefully curated list of gardening events around the bay area; then it's right back to the phones and your questions about your own gardens, here on KSFO!

Happy St. Patrick's Day; Bob's guest in-studio was John Schuster of Wild Wing Company; john has developed deep expertise in owls and other raptors specifically as pest control for gardens and vineyards.   John brings his expertise regularly to our program and is our go-to source for carnivorous birds.

Once again Edie Tanem is on-site with this weeks' burgeoning edition of Stuff for Gardeners To Do; things happening all up and down the bay area that might be of interest to all you budding spring gardeners out there.  Then it's right back to the phones with Bob!

We had no guest this fine spring morning -- the better to accommodate all your calls! We take calls from the 9 bay area counties and beyond; America's Happy Gardener is on the air!

Edie Tanem starts off this hour with another edition of Thing To Get Your Gardener Out and About: gardening-related events up and down the breadth of the bay!   Then it's back to the phones and America's Happy Gardener, Bob Tanem!

At 8:30, our guest was Jeff Cox, author of Gardening with Biochar, and advocate in general for this unique garden amendment.  Jeff starts off by helping us understand what Biochar is, as opposed to just ash from charcoal, for example.

Hour #2 starts with Edie Tanem and her list of things going on in the gardening world, all around the Bay Area in the weeks ahead; then it's back the phones and America's Happy Gardener, Bob Tanem!
