It's too cold to garden, but not to learn about soil tests, pH and liming, and HOS new Temperate Orchard Conservancy

Host Glen Andresen and guest Jim Gilbert discuss some non-gardening tasks, including soil tests and dormant sprays. We'll also talk to Franki Baccellieri about the Home Orchard Society's latest big project, the Temperate Orchard Conservancy. Plus, Jim will  give us a report on what's happening on the farm in December.  

As always, we'll answer your gardening questions, have a new Plant of the Month (walnuts), define our Dirtbag Dictionary words (two this month: pH and liming), quiz you with a new Garden Stumper, and fill you in on what's going on in the honey bee hive this month.

The Dirtbag... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
