With the hot summer weather moving in, now is a good time to review proper watering amounts and techniques. Peter gives you the amount of water to give your garden when we get dry spells with little rain like we have now and how to make your watering most effective for your plants.

How can you keep fresh vegetables on your dinner table through the freezing Vermont winters? Peter goes over which produce you can store longer in a cold cellar, what you can can, ferment, or pickle, and some more shelf stable recipes like pesto and salsa to take advantage of your upcoming vegetable harvest and make some delicious food even in the middle of winter.

Peter picks up where we left off last week discussing composting in Vermont and how you can apply composting best practices to your garden to help it grow without the need for spending money on the best fertilizers or soil.

Composting used to be a practice only performed by gardeners. But with the new state laws on composting and landfills, just about all Vermonters are composting in 2021. Peter answers your compost questions, from bins to ratios and more.

We're getting into the peak of planting season. Peter gives his list of seeds to be starting right now and it's quite long. It is perfect weather for things like salad greens, carrots, peas, onions, and much more.

Peter just got his box of potatoes and he's excited to get them in the ground. Peter goes over how to get them ready and the care potatoes need in the early season.

Welcome to the next season of In the Garden! We're very excited to get growing and enjoy the summer weather. To get us started, Peter covers what you can start working on now and what to plant in the next few weeks.

We may be getting into September, but there's still so much to do in the garden. Peter goes over what you should be harvesting right now, what will continue to grow once it gets cold, and how to put the garden to bed at the end of the year. This concludes the 2020 season of In the Garden. Thanks to everyone who listened and called in with questions. We'll see you all next spring!

We get an overview of the state of the labor movement from Vermont AFL-CIO President Dave Van Deusen, followed by updates from leaders with the American Postal Workers Union, Vermont NEA teachers’ union, Vermont State Employees’ Association and United Academics at the University of Vermont.

We're getting down to the end of the season for "In the Garden," but that doesn't mean that it's time to stop gardening for the year. Peter goes over what you can plant outside in the late season before the heavy frosts set in.

Peter and Joel talk about their favorite recipes for their fresh produce out of the garden. They also take some listener calls to share their favorites. Got a recipe to share? Contact WDEV on Facebook or email inthegarden@radiovermont.com.

We start the show with many listener questions about protecting from pests, this summer must have been good for the bugs and rodents because it seems like everyone's garden has some pests trying to steal their produce. Peter also gives some ideas on what you can do once you harvest your produce, from pesto to tomato sauce to canning. Make sure you get your supplies ready beforehand.
