Weekday: Gardening

We bring you past programs with Carl Elliot, our now retired Radio Gardener, exclusively on the Web and as a podcast. Carl Elliot was a part of Weekday’s gardening coverage for more than 10 years. He shared his knowledge on gardening the organic way.

We will be highlighting audio and written archives from past gardening programs each week. We will continue to send out a gardening e-newsletter each week, to let you know about the topic, with a link to the audio and the gardening notes.

Carl usually began by discussing a gardening topic in-depth with Steve. He sent us an email with more information about that topic. You can find his emailed notes here:
