A discussion of when and how to harvest fall veggies and how to store them. Plus, how much to water…and when to stop.

Host Glen Andresen is live in the studio, and joining him by phone is Columbia County OSU Extension agent Chip Bubl. Chip is a native Oregonian and boy, does he know vegetables (and much more, of course). Join us for a lively discussion of topics as diverse as how much water a garden needs (hint: there's no one answer) to when to stop watering!

As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (carrots) and a new Garden Stumper (the winner gets a free sharpening of a hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland!). Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term is "Nitorgen fixing." And, of course, what's annoying Glen this month...or at least what he's been thinking about.

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.

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