Our guest this morning on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is Sandra Mao -- author of the just published book, Vibrant Harvest: Cultivating a Kaleidoscope of Colors in Your Vegetable Garden with Heirlooms, Modern Hybrids, and More.   This book is a refreshing approach to gardening; it's container-garden friendly and emphasizes some of the less commonly planted varieties -- promoting an "eat the rainbow" approach to diet and fresh home grown produce.

This podcast is a replay of the original broadcast live on 810 KSFO; we're live on the air in San Francisco and online at KSFO.com each Sunday morning from 9 until 10.  This podcast edition has been lightly edited to remove music and most advertising.

Still the premiere radio show about Organic Gardening in the SF Bay Area, Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is live on the air on 810 KSFO each Sunday morning at 9:00 am local time in San Francisco.  This podcast is the time-shifted version; we've edited out most of the ads and all of the music, and left in all the calls and all the gardening advice for you to enjoy.  Today we discussed (along the way) soil remediation with epsom salts or with hydrogen peroxide (hint: proceed with caution!), tree care and community gardening. Folks called about their citrus trees, hummingbird feeder formula, and many other topics.  For more information about our show including text archives from Bob, see bobtanem.com.
