131 Grape Growing Tips. Carrot Varieties. The Autumn Daffodil, Sternbergia

It’s grape harvest season across the country. Disappointed with your results? This week, College Horticulture Professor (retired) Debbie Flower, who taught classes in growing grapes, has lots of good tips to increase your grape production. Carrots now come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. We talk with Renee Shepherd of Renee’s Garden seed company (https://www.reneesgarden.com/collecti...) about growing backyard carrots. And Warren Roberts of the UC Davis Arboretum (https://arboretum.ucdavis.edu) talks about an easy to grow bulb, the Sternbergia, also known as the Autumn Daffodil.


It’s all on episode 131 of the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast, brought to you today by Smart Pots and Dave Wilson Nursery. 


And we will do it all in under 30 minutes. Let’s go!
