This mornings' edition of Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem was a live call-in show; old-fashioned live no net radio. We took calls about gardening stuff, we talked about next weeks' big orchid show, we talked about the weather. Folks called in with their issues and Edie Tanem -- a certified Master Gardener and a former nursery staff person -- weighed in with options and ideas to address them. The podcast edition has been lightly edited to remove musical content and most advertising. The show airs live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 Pacific time on 810 KSFO and streaming worldwide on KSFO.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is on the air; Sundays 9am to 10 Pacific time on 810 KSFO, and on KSFO.com. This then is the podcast edition, played back on demand any time. Our guest this week is Joe Skibbie of Beats Beds and Browns -- an interesting enterprise that puts out a video podcast focussing on music (specifically hip-hop, e.g., 'Beats'), beds (e.g., organic local gardening) and browns (small scale distilled spirits). An interesting combination of focusses, so of course one of Edie's first lines of questioning brought out from Joe what the commonality is in all of this -- and it comes down to interweaving communities. Specifically, local music, local gardening, and local liquor, and networking those communities to find common ground. Joe spent the hour with us discussing a variety of angles; give it a listen. For the podcast edition we are obligated to edit out all of the music (and most of the ads) for your on-demand listening experience. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good morning and happy May from all of us here at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem! Our guest this morning is Ben Bloom of Bloom's Wholesale Nursery -- a growing nursery supplying high-quality locally-oriented plants to non-box-store local nurseries throughout the Bay Area. Ben is from the second generation of Blooms running the nursery, and has developed a passion for native plants, which are a sub-specialty. Edie and Ben spent the hour discussing not only the ins and outs of being a "nursery brat," growing up around plant operations; they know many of the same people - but also the many options for garden and landscaping plants we have here in the Bay Area, what some of the factors are in choosing the right ones to grow, together they unfurled some of the myths around using Native plants in your landscape.

We are joined this morning by Jeff Harris of the San Francisco Orchid Society, here to talk up the 2026 Orchid Exposition he'll be presiding over at the SF County Fair building in Golden Gate Park, starting Thursday Feb. 26 and running through Sunday March 1. Jeff reminded us of just how fabulous an event this is for anyone interested in orchids; whether seeing the best on display or actually buying plants at the marketplace they include at the event.

It's Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem, the podcast edition -- featuring this weeks' guest, show favorite Ed Laivo, known to the Interwebs as Ed Able of Ed Able Solutions -- which is the name of his YouTube channel of many years. The subject? Fruit Trees! Ed is an expert on this subject, and on citrus in particular. Today Edie and Ed discussed among other things the trend toward summer pruning to keep trees lower; in addition to keeping the fruit where you can reach it, keeping your trees to 7 feet or below also enables putting a grow cover over them to disrupt pests at key times, and causes the trees to require less water -- without materially affecting production volume. Ed works with a number of growers and nurseries in the California central valley, and recently re-wrote the "Back Yard Orchard Culture" feature on Dave Wilson Nursery's web site (the first time that article was updated in many years). Ed makes a wonderful guest, and the hour flies by. This podcast edition our show has been lightly edited to remove musical content and much of the advertising.

It's America's happiest gardening show, Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem. We broadcast live on 810 am KSFO on Sunday mornings at 9:00; sometimes we have a guest but some days -- today, for example --we just take calls and talk about stuff in, around and for the garden. Concerned about recent cold snaps? The tip of the day came from caller Neil at the very end of the show, who suggested "heat tape" -- a product originally designed for use to prevent pipes from freezing, it plugs in to 110 power and comes on automatically at 38° F, and shuts off at 40° F. Neil says you can put it at the base of trees or wherever you're concerned about frost damage. Of course Edie reiterated Bob's old trick of using incandescent holiday light strings for a similar purpose, though those are getting harder to find; LEDs don't produce enough heat to help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our guest this morning on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is Kenny Phillips, certified arborist with Davey Tree company. Davey is our go-to source for up-to-date, less toxic expert tree care; they are a national company but it is employee owned; the employees bought out the founding Davey family back in 1979. There are several offices around the Bay Area where listeners can arrange for an arborist to come out and evaluate a tree at no charge (some conditions apply). Kenny spent the better part of the hour with us talking about several aspects of tree care and lifecycle management. Also discussed are a variety of options for dealing with post-use Christmas trees. We also took a call or two from the audience, with questions for Kenny. This podcast is a reproduction of the original live broadcast on 810 KSFO San Francisco. The show has been lightly edited to remove all musical content and most of the advertising.

Our guest this morning on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is Sandra Mao -- author of the just published book, Vibrant Harvest: Cultivating a Kaleidoscope of Colors in Your Vegetable Garden with Heirlooms, Modern Hybrids, and More. This book is a refreshing approach to gardening; it's container-garden friendly and emphasizes some of the less commonly planted varieties -- promoting an "eat the rainbow" approach to diet and fresh home grown produce.
