Emerging from the Dust

About this episode

The hosts discuss the challenges of gardening in extreme weather and share personal experiences with wildlife encounters.

HOT damn we're back! Ever feel like you are trying to garden while attending Burning Man? Well, that's what it was like trying to grow some veggies here in the SW corner of the state this summer. Hot. Dry. Windy. Grumpy. Those are our adjectives - what are yours? Oh, and we talk about fences - Darrin took his (275 foot) fence down and invited all the town deer to their front yard; Tom had bears climb over his, for the first time in 25 years. All for the love of gardening - oh joy you carrot, oh joy!
