Summer Bay Area gardening.

From KQED.

Succulent tomatoes that burst in your mouth. Enough zucchini to feed an army. Corn, sunflowers, and more. The summer garden has much to offer, but Bay Area summer gardening is a bit different. Some of us stay socked in fog and marine layer for weeks at a time, while others are dealing with hotter temperatures. We talk about the summer garden, take your questions, and hear what’s thriving in your plot.

Guests:

Flora Grubb, owner, Flora Grubb Gardens Plant Nursery

Leslie Bennett, owner and creative director, Pine House Edible Gardens; co-author, “Garden Wonderland: Create Life-Changing Outdoor Spaces for Beauty, Harvest, Meaning and Joy”
