All About Roses. Pruning Perennials.
Welcome to a podcast specifically for Northern California gardeners...or anyone who wants good gardening information, Green Acres Garden Podcast with Farmer Fred. Master Gardener Fred Hoffman is a longtime garden fixture in Sacramento area radio and newspapers, who has offered garden advice to hundreds of thousands over the last 29 years.
On this episode, Farmer Fred pays a visit to Folsom's Green Acres Nursery & Supply, and chats with sales associate Steve about bareroot roses, now in stock! Learn how to plant bareroot roses to get them off to a healthy start in your garden. Fred then heads to south Sacramento to visit with Master Rosarian Debbie Arrington of the Sacramento Rose Society in her rose garden, for tips on pruning hybrid tea roses. And we complete the rose trifecta with a visit with Master Rosarian Charlotte Owendyk of the Sierra Foothills Rose Society, to talk about tree roses. Confused about pruning perennials? Farmer Fred has some "cutting" remarks! And, our weekly "Things to Do in the Garden" segment also talks about what to avoid doing right now: don't dig in the muddy soil after a heavy rain.
Thanks for listening!
