Mid-American Gardener: Basil and Mint, Bay Leaf plant and very different types of tomatoes

 

Mid-American Gardener Horticulture specialist host Dianne Noland and her gardening experts Kay Carnes, Bob Skirvin and Chuck Voigt give us some new understandings of our gardens and what goes on within them. We found out the visual differences between Basil and Mint. Kay Carnes showed us a spectacular Bay Leaf plant and Bob Skirvin explained a very different type of tomato. We learned about indoor gardens, cucumbers and which apple makes for the largest and the most delicious. Plus so much more.
