    Tomatoes With Craig LeHoullier-A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach February 28, 2022
    2022/02/26

    Sick of winter? What I find helps, besides the occasional warmish, sunny day, is thinking about tomatoes. And that's what we're going to do today with Craig LeHoullier, author of the hit 2014 book “Epic Tomatoes,” who has over the years grown some 3,000 varieties in his home garden and adds new ones to his list every year

    Craig, who gardens in North Carolina, is a retired chemist with a longtime passion for tomatoes. He's the co-founder of the Dwarf Tomato Project, an advisor on tomatoes to Seed Savers Exchange, and the person who in 1990 named the popular heirloom Cherokee Purple from seed that had been passed down and eventually made its way to him.

    Native Plant Stories With Jared Rosenbaum - A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach - Sept. 16, 2024
    2024/09/13
    “Plants tell the story of a place,” says field botanist and native plant nursery owner Jared Rosenbaum. “If you want to be rooted on the earth you live on, you can look to plants to interpret that story.” With his friend, a filmmaker named Jared Flesher a.k.a. “the other Jared,” Jared Rosenbaum creates what they call “funky but highly cinematic 5-minute videos about the ecology of wild plants.” The second season of their series titled “Rooted” is debuting on YouTube Sept. 15 with a video on none other than the Eastern prickly pear cactus, the only hardy cactus of the...

  • Soil-Supporting Advice, With the Real Organic Project - A Way to Garden, With Margaret Roach - Sept. 9, 2024

    Soil-Supporting Advice, With the Real Organic Project - A Way to Garden, With Margaret Roach - Sept. 9, 2024
    2024/09/06
    Organic farming and gardening have always been based on the principle of “feed the soil, not the plant.” In a recent interview, I got some expert advice for doing that, and also learn why our diligent soil-consciousness matters so much, with the co-directors of the nonprofit Real Organic Project, a farmer-led organization advocating for food produced in concert with healthy soils and pastures. Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon are co-directors of the Real Organic Project, which since 2018 has created an add-on label to USDA Organic, to differentiate organic food that is soil-grown, not hydroponic, and animal products that are...

    Bulb Shopping and Dividing With Ken Druse - A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach - Aug. 26, 2024
    2024/08/22
    Have you done your bulb shopping yet? It’s ordering time—both for fall-blooming treats like Colchicum, which you can only buy now if you hurry, and for the ever-wider assortment of fall-planted, spring-into-summer blooming species. Ken Druse and I both have been making lists—of bulbs we once grew but no longer have and want to replenish, of ones we have but want more of to add to the visual impact, and also of some new-to-us goodies. Plus, we’ll talk about when and how to divide those Narcissus that might be blooming less than lustily after many years in the ground. Regular... Read More ›

    Holiday Cactus With Matt Mattus - A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach - Aug. 19, 2024
    2024/08/16
    I was scrolling through Instagram the other day – yes, sometimes I just cannot help myself – when I saw a post by Matt Mattus about Christmas cactus. Even though it was still high summer, it made me long for one of my own – I haven’t grown a holiday cactus since my very old plant took a nasty spill in a move of houses years ago. It also made me think it was time for a review of how to get those lavish bloomers to do their colorful thing. Matt Mattus gardens in Massachusetts, and is the author of... Read More ›

    Extreme Weather With Daniel Weitoish - A Way to Garden With Margaret Roach - Aug. 12, 2024
    2024/08/09
    I suspect I’m not alone when I say that weather extremes in recent growing seasons have made me feel a bit like a stranger in a strange land in my own garden—wondering what will bloom when, and when to do what, and most of all: wondering what madness is coming next? Managing our gardens—and especially its longest-lived residents, our trees—in changing times is our topic today. My guest is Daniel Weitoish, the arboriculture supervisor at Cornell Botanic Gardens in Ithaca, N.Y., where he and his colleagues care for the woody plants at the 30-acre botanic garden, plus a 100-acre arboretum, and about 3,600...
