We had a lot of fun on Pittsburgh Today Live talking about feeding the birds. There are lots of reasons to feed them, but it’s especially important for gardeners. Feeding them through the winter establishes a foraging route. When it’s time to feed the babies, the birds will hunt the foraging route for insects.

Teri Speight was a guest on the Organic Gardening Show to discus her book Black Flora: Inspiring Profiles of Floriculture’s New Vanguard.

I had a lot of fun interviewing Rhonda Kaiser author of The Vintage Farmhouse Garden.

Deer Proof plants, environmentally friendly fabric pots, a wonderful hydrangea and an important program for sustainability at the Baltimore Convention Center, site of the Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show.

I had a great conversation with my friend Buddy Lee. He’s an amazing plant breeder best known for the Encore Azalea, which is a repeat bloomer.
Buddy shared some great stories about how he became fascinated with plant breeding and explained how home gardeners could create their own varieties.

Mark Barnett contacted me about a Facebook post he saw about a Pittsburgh Heirloom tomato.
It was fun to learn he has an Etsy shop filled with rare, heirloom tomato and pepper seeds.
