IHAVE KNOWN KEN DRUSE FOR MORE YEARS than either of us cares to admit to, so it was great fun recently to be invited to talk about one of our shared favorite topics–seeds–with him on his weekly ‘Real Dirt’ podcast. Like to listen in? Perhaps afterward you’ll want to read the related stories about why I’m ordering from catalogs whose seed is produced sustainably or organically, and how worked up I’ve been getting about genetically modified seed. Of course, I haven’t ordered anything yet. Any day now…

radio podcast: getting ready to shop for seeds
December 20, 2010 at 10:18 am
ABOUT THIS TIME OF YEAR I GET FED UP with holiday to-do’s, and need a solid dose of horticulture instead. What better task to treat myself to than getting ready for seed-catalog shopping season: making an inventory of leftover things, testing for germination, writing a wishlist—and ordering a few new catalogs to widen my winter world. That’s what I am doing today, ho ho ho. The details, in today’s WHDD podcast.
radio podcast: the 365-day garden
November 15, 2010 at 10:17 am
MAYBE TO TALK MYSELF INTO FEELING BRAVE as the color fades from the pictures outside the window, I’ve been talking up the concept of a 365-day garden on the weekly radio podcast with my friends at nearby Robin Hood Radio, WHDD. [read more…]

August 22, 2010 at 12:26 pm
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE WRITTEN to say you enjoy the radio podcasts I create with Robin Hood Radio (NPRs newest and smallest affiliate, and just down the road from me in Ruralville, USA here). Marshall, Jill and I do have fun with our Monday-morning conversations–but you can listen anytime. Here’s the list of recent topics to stream or subscribe to free in iTunes: [read more…]
radio podcast: great ‘small’ trees; bird gardens
July 7, 2010 at 6:29 pm
FROM THE HOW TIME FLIES DEPARTMENT: It has been three months this week since I started weekly radio podcasts with my friends Marshall and Jill down the road at local NPR affiliate Robin Hood Radio. How can this be? But it’s true: the 13th and 14th weekly installments of the A Way to Garden podcast–June 28th’s about making a bird-friendly garden, and July 5th’s on my favorite garden-sized trees–are ready for harvest. Just follow the buttons on the WHDD site to iTunes or the RSS feed–or stream it right then and there; your call. Enjoy. And can somebody slow down the season (and turn down the heat)? Thanks much.
radio podcast: 2 new shows; ‘garden rant’ kudos!
June 21, 2010 at 10:11 am
IAM DELIGHTED TO ALERT YOU TO TWO NEW SEGMENTS in the podcast archive, and at least as excited to say that one of the best-known garden blogs of all, Garden Rant, wrote a nice piece today recommending the show I do with my neighbors down the road at Robin Hood Radio, the newest NPR affiliate.

radio podcasts: tough love–and shopping time
June 9, 2010 at 4:19 pm
A PAIR OF NEW PODCASTS HAVE PILED UP in the queue, last week’s on taking a tough-love approach to the gone-by spring garden, and Monday’s on quite the opposite thought: going out to shop for more. You can make your way to the goodies over at my podcast archive page at Robin Hood Radio/WHDD, the nearby NPR affiliate where the show is created, and stream at will, or click the yellow “Subscribe in iTunes” button there instead if that’s your delivery vehicle of choice. Enjoy.
podcast doubleheader: ‘real dirt’ and robin hood
May 22, 2010 at 6:40 am
THIS PODCAST THING IS CONTAGIOUS. Thanks to Robin Hood Radio and the weekly podcast they produce with A Way to Garden, I have also been reconnected across the radio waves to my old friend Ken Druse (whose weekly ‘Real Dirt’ program airs on Robin Hood Radio, too, among other places). As a result, this week I recorded a radio-podcast doubleheader. Want to listen in? [read more…]
radio podcast: new, longer show on itunes!
May 3, 2010 at 3:11 pm
GARDENERS AND SQUIRRELS TYPICALLY DO NOT GET ALONG, but in the case of Margaret Roach and Robin Hood Radio (an NPR affiliate where the motto is, “slightly off, but very good” and the logo is a fluffy-tailed rodent) the matchup couldn’t be happier. Just weeks into starting “A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach,” the kind folks there have lengthened the broadcast (now Mondays between about 8:30 and 8:55 AM) and uploaded it to the iTunes store, where you can subscribe for free. Here’s how: [read more…]
