Welcome and Happy Fathers' Day from all of us here at the Tanem show and at KSFO!  This is the podcast edition of the Bay Area's premiere radio talk show about organic gardening, heard Sundays at 9:00 am local time on 810 KSFO San Francisco, and worldwide on KSFO.com.

Edie did a bit of a tribute to her dad, Bob Tanem, remembering him and fondly recollecting the preparations they would do for the flower garden competitions at the Marin County Fair each year; an event that coincided with Bob's Birthday on the first of July.

We took calls, talked about gardening events, and generally promoted happy healthy gardening this fine Summer Solstice day!  The podcast edition of the show has been pruned to remove musical bits and most advertising.

Welcome to the SF Bay Area's premiere radio talk show about organic gardening; In The Garden with Edie Tanem is on the air!

Our guest this morning was Lance Walheim, a perennial favorite expert that Bob first had on over 20 years ago.  That because Lance is one of Northern California's premiere experts on Citrus planting, including both commercial and back yard oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits.   Lance has long had one of the authoritative books on citrus growing, but now having taken over publishing with his own Walheim Press, Citrus: A Gardeners’ and Fruit Lovers’ Guide is newly expanded an enhanced by Lance himself.

Edie and her guest spent the hour talking about the many aspects of citrus and fruit growing, but also a little reminiscing over times past.  This podcast edition preserves the whole show, minus the bumper music and most of the advertising.

Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is on the air; Sundays 9am to 10 Pacific time on 810 KSFO, and on KSFO.com.  This then is the podcast edition, played back on demand any time.

Our guest this week is Joe Skibbie of Beats Beds and Browns -- an interesting enterprise that puts out a video podcast focussing on music (specifically hip-hop, e.g., 'Beats'), beds (e.g., organic local gardening) and browns (small scale distilled spirits).   An interesting combination of focusses, so of course one of Edie's first lines of questioning brought out from Joe what the commonality is in all of this -- and it comes down to interweaving communities.  Specifically, local music, local gardening, and local liquor, and networking those communities to find common ground.  Joe spent the hour with us discussing a variety of angles; give it a listen.

For the podcast edition we are obligated to edit out all of the music (and most of the ads) for your on-demand listening experience.

Good morning and happy May from all of us here at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem!  Our guest this morning is Ben Bloom of Bloom's Wholesale Nursery -- a growing nursery supplying high-quality locally-oriented plants to non-box-store local nurseries throughout the Bay Area.  Ben is from the second generation of Blooms running the nursery, and has developed a passion for native plants, which are a sub-specialty. 

Edie and Ben spent the hour discussing not only the ins and outs of being a "nursery brat," growing up around plant operations; they know many of the same people - but also the many options for garden and landscaping plants we have here in the Bay Area, what some of the factors are in choosing the right ones to grow, together they unfurled some of the myths around using Native plants in your landscape.

Here we are with another edition of Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem!  Todays' show featured recorded audio that Edie brought back from a visit to the Sonoma Botanical Gardens in Glen Ellen; in addition to their usual and extensive collection of plants, there are currently sculptures on display by Oaxacan artists Maria and Jacobo Angeles - the Spirit Guides exhibit will be up through Sept. 7; inspired by the Zapotec calendar, the exhibition includes eight large-scale works organized by Denver Botanic Gardens.  Edie and Kristine Lindh from Sonoma Botanical Gardens gave us a brief audio tour of the colorful sculptures on display among the gardens.  Following this, we took calls and Edie dispensed gardening advice for Bay Area gardeners this spring.

This podcast represents a replay of the original radio show on the air live; musical interludes and the bulk of the ads have been edited out.  Our show can be heard live on 810 AM in San Francisco, and at KSFO.com on Sundays, 9:00 local time.
