February is the last best month to prune kiwis and grapes; plus edible plants from Ukraine

Host Glen Andresen and guest Jim Gilbert are again on tape this month, and we may not have a show in March as The Dirtbag falls during International Women's Day. February is the month to prune kiwis and grapes and we'll offer step-by-step instructions. It's also the last best month to prune dormant fruit trees and blueberries. And tales of Jim's plant collecting in Ukraine.

As always, we'll have a new Plant of the Month (Cornelian cherry) and a new Garden Stumper (the winner gets a free sharpening of a hand tool from Cully Farm Store in Northeast Portland!). Plus, our Dirtbag Dictionary term  is "damping off."  And, of course, what's annoying Glen this month...or at least what he's been thinking about!

Don't forget, if you have a gardening question, and don't want to call in, you can always email us at thedirtbag@kboo.org -- we'll answer your question on the air during the next show. Furthermore, you can record a voice memo of your gardening question on your phone and email that to us. We will play it on the air next month and answer your question.

The Dirtbag, a garden variety show... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
