He has excellent perennial, annual and shrub/tree guides out that focus just on plants that will grow in MN/WI. Out of all my gardening books- they get the most use.

I just wanted to move this back up to the top so people don't forget to listen to the show this sunday.

Thanks for the reminder!

I enjoyed the show a lot last week -- it's on in about 5 minutes!

Thanks just turned it on-

Anyone caught it yet? Whadya think?

I've been listening to it since it started....He is so much more entertaining in person. But I do like it...I can turn it on and clean the house while I listen.

As a new member, I make it a point to read the forum each day! This site is a great service to the gardening community. I am a producer developing a new gardening program for television and radio. I have the opportunity to pitch the radio version to NPR in Saint Louis. We'll see. I may launch this program as a podcast first.

My garden and home is north of the city. It's near the river in Zone 6. There's great soil here. I look forward to hearing more of your program ideas. I'll need topics and fun ideas. I'll certainly keep you posted on the progress of my upcoming gardening safari.

Best regards,
Christian

cudnik, if you want to check out how not to produce a garden show, check out 'CCO's show on Sat morns. Makes me feel I am listening to the CCO of Dave Moores era. They need to get with the times. And quit giving bad or generalized info; if you don't know, just say so.
