Northern Gardening – Container gardening

When you don’t have much topsoil to work with, or have limited space for gardening, container gardening can be a great option!  In this edition of Northern Gardening, hosts Sarah Waddle and Joan Farnam are joined by Master Gardener Volunteers Sally Berg, Rovena Claxton, and Gine Miessner, to discuss the benefits and challenges of container gardening in Cook County.  Also discussed are the variety trials Master Gardeners are conducting this year to find out what varieties of peas, tomatoes, winter squash, and flowers grow well in containers in our area.

Northern Gardening airs every 2nd Thursday of the Month at 7 pm, then again at 6 am the following Saturday. All previously aired programs are archived on our website to listen to at any time.
