some varieties of apples produce earlier than others
Too much produce all at once? We have some ideas on how to spread it out.

Host Glen Andresen and co-pilot Jim Gilbert are again live in the studio this month. Are you inundated with more fruit and veggies than you can handle at the moment. We have some suggestions on smoothing out the production. And, continuing from last month, we will have more informaiton on summer pruning. Plus, believe it or not, there are times and situations where you might want to stop watering, even now.

As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (early apples) and a new Garden Stumper--the first listener who calls in with the correct answer gets a free sharpening of a gardening hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland. Our musical theme this month  is "dog days." Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term is "genus." And finally, what Glen is trying to understand this month.

Don't forget, if you have a gardening question, and don't want to call in, you can always email us at thedirtbag@kboo.org -- we'll answer your question on the air during the next show. And, surprise, this is the same email to use to answer The Garden Stumper if you don't want to call in.

The Dirtbag, a garden variety show... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
