Good morning and happy February from all of us here at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem...!  We are joined this morning by Jeff Harris of the San Francisco Orchid Society, here to talk up the 2026 Orchid Exposition he'll be presiding over at the SF County Fair building in Golden Gate Park, starting Thursday Feb. 26 and running through Sunday March 1.   Jeff reminded us of just how fabulous an event this is for anyone interested in orchids; whether seeing the best on display or actually buying plants at the marketplace they include at the event.  And as Jeff further pointed out, this is a terrific time of year to take a walk among some of the other park attractions that are right there, as well as the area's abundant walk-up restaurants.

In the second half of the show we took calls from our live audience; this podcast is a repeat of the actual broadcast at 9:00 local time in San Francisco on 810 KSFO; the musical interludes and the bulk of the adverts have been lifted out for your protection.

It's Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem, the podcast edition -- featuring this weeks' guest, show favorite Ed Laivo, known to the Interwebs as Ed Able of Ed Able Solutions -- which is the name of his YouTube channel of many years.  The subject? Fruit Trees!  Ed is an expert on this subject, and on citrus in particular.  Today Edie and Ed discussed among other things the trend toward summer pruning to keep trees lower; in addition to keeping the fruit where you can reach it, keeping your trees to 7 feet or below also enables putting a grow cover over them to disrupt pests at key times, and causes the trees to require less water -- without materially affecting production volume.   Ed works with a number of growers and nurseries in the California central valley, and recently re-wrote the "Back Yard Orchard Culture" feature on Dave Wilson Nursery's web site (the first time that article was updated in many years).  Ed makes a wonderful guest, and the hour flies by.

This podcast edition our show has been lightly edited to remove musical content and much of the advertising.  The show airs live in its' entirety on Sunday mornings at 9:00 on 810 KSFO, and streaming on KSFO.com
