Backyard Gardening & Weather on this week’s Sustainable Living

Share

On Monday’s (2/1/16) show we talked about home gardening and did a short piece about this year’s strawberry season and the weather related problems our local growers are dealing with.

Josh Young, an organic strawberry farmer and owner of Crop Protection Services in Plant City covered the strawberry topic.

Our home gardening guests were: Christina Bellamy, an organic gardener for over 55 years living in Clearwater; Jim Kovaleski, an amazing urban gardener in Florida and Maine; and Karen Elizabeth, the driving force behind all kinds of Eastern Hillsborough County organic gardening projects and the new location for Plant City Commons Community Garden. Christina and Jim both talked about climate issues and vegetables. You can find much more information about the show on the Facebook WMNF Sustainable Living Show page.
