  • The FOUR C's... A Garden's Best Friends!

    The FOUR C's... A Garden's Best Friends!

    The FOUR C's for this show are not what all the ladies are thinking... today's diamonds are not carats (but carrots is a better guess). Nope, today's C's are Cosmos, Coleus, Cleome and Cabbage (?).
    A few sun loving plants we think need 15 seconds more fame than they are getting. So let Mike & Scott help introduce these plants to you, along with our guest from The Minnesota Extension Office... Master Gardener Theresa Rooney!!!
    And we dare you to take a chance this year and give one of them a go at it.

    Did we mention Theresa also appears on a radio gardening show? Check out WCCO Radio AM 830, Saturdays from 8-9am. She rotates with other gardeners to answer questions.
