Ken Druse REAL DIRT

Vicki wants a Christmas cactus with the gorgeous pale, peach-pink flower--the one she's only seen growing at Ken's house...so, Ken talks us through the very simple steps for propagating this plant.

A brand new show, timely tips and a girl named Pip.

The Big Feast is just around the corner...how about getting the kids to make one of the appetizers? In this show, we talk about a super-easy to prepare heirloom veggie that very well could have been served at the original celebration.

On this week's show, we launch a new segment aimed at finding ways to live greener--in all facets of our daily lives--as well as the garden.

In this podcast, we attempt to answer listener's questions from emails we've recently received...about beets, hollies, and cutting back (or not) perennials.

We also urge you to check out our favorite purveyor of bulbs and get some great bulbs before they are all gone.

Ken reports on his recent trips to the Scott Arboretum in Swarthmore, PA and a wonderful private garden in Arkansas

In this show, Ken has Vicki "test sniff" his homemade scents-ual creations.

The garden created by horticultural therapist John Beirne and the clients at NewBridge Services in Pompton Plains, NJ is a stunning achievement...a lush collection of exuberant, beautifully grown tropical trees, shrubs and flowers in front of a nondescript brick building in an ordinary suburb.

In this podcast, we interview John, who is not only passionate about gardening, but also speaks eloquently about the ways gardening can transform lives.

Please make sure you visit our web site, www.realdirtradio.com, to see some of John's photographs of this year's garden.

OK, I should leave the puns to Ken...

This week we talk about the sounds and aromas of fall...and kvetch about them too. And I talk about some of my botanical finds and sensory experiences from my recent road trip to the shores of Penobscot Bay.
