Different cacti explained and a tour of Prairie Fruits Farms

 

This week, John Bodensteiner stops by the studio to discuss the differences between Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter cacti, emphasizing the importance of watering without foil.

They also cover Amaryllis care, including proper pot size, and the importance of cool nights.

We conclude the episode with a trip to Prairie Fruits Farms in Urvana, and get an exclusive tour of their goat dairy and creamery, and even get a chance to sample some of their most popular holiday goat cheeses.
