Peter takes listener calls and answers their pressing garden questions. Take a listen and see if someone has the same question as you.

With the hot summer weather moving in, now is a good time to review proper watering amounts and techniques. Peter gives you the amount of water to give your garden when we get dry spells with little rain like we have now and how to make your watering most effective for your plants.

How can you keep fresh vegetables on your dinner table through the freezing Vermont winters? Peter goes over which produce you can store longer in a cold cellar, what you can can, ferment, or pickle, and some more shelf stable recipes like pesto and salsa to take advantage of your upcoming vegetable harvest and make some delicious food even in the middle of winter.

Peter picks up where we left off last week discussing composting in Vermont and how you can apply composting best practices to your garden to help it grow without the need for spending money on the best fertilizers or soil.

Composting used to be a practice only performed by gardeners. But with the new state laws on composting and landfills, just about all Vermonters are composting in 2021. Peter answers your compost questions, from bins to ratios and more.

We're getting into the peak of planting season. Peter gives his list of seeds to be starting right now and it's quite long. It is perfect weather for things like salad greens, carrots, peas, onions, and much more.

Peter just got his box of potatoes and he's excited to get them in the ground. Peter goes over how to get them ready and the care potatoes need in the early season.

Welcome to the next season of In the Garden! We're very excited to get growing and enjoy the summer weather. To get us started, Peter covers what you can start working on now and what to plant in the next few weeks.
