Growing a garden is very similar to doing a successful podcast. It takes patience, perseverance and a willingness to try something new. Welcome to Episode 100 of the Garden Basics with Farmer Fred podcast. I began this audio adventure just as sheltering in place was taking hold last spring. Many of you took that opportunity to play in the yard, so to speak, while learning something new, something that can be fun, and healthy, for the entire family. If that was your impetus to seek us out here, welcome to the world of gardening! I see your still at it. Kind of addicting, isn’t it? And for all you long time gardeners, thank you sticking around and helping place the Garden Basics podcast among the top 3% IN THE WORLD.So, to celebrate 100 episodes, let's revisit the Top 3 interviews that we have aired here in just over a year. To no one’s surprise, two of them have to do with tomatoes, the most popular vegetable that’s grown in the United States, and in many other countries, as well. The third most listened-to episode featured a primer about feeding your soil, not your plants.One more thing, this might run longer than the usual 30 minutes (not by much). I hope you understand.Pictured:Celebrity TomatoLinks:Smart PotsTomorrow's HarvestDave Wilson NurseryUC Davis ArboretumKellogg Garden ProductsEpisode 3: How To Plant Tomatoes and Peppers (You Might Be Surprised!)Episode 21: Tomato TroubleshooterEpisode 7: Feed Your Soil, Not Your PlantsMore episodes and info available at Garden Basics with Farmer FredGarden Basics comes out every Tuesday and Friday.
