Mid-American Gardener: It takes how long to grow asparagus?

 

This week, host Tinisha Spain talks with guests John Bodensteiner, Kelly Allsup and Chuck Voigt about starting asparagus, tree philodendron and making wreaths out of old grape vines. Panelists also answer viewer questions and take calls about planting walnuts and other woody ornamentals.

If you have questions (send photos if you have them!), we’ve got you covered. Send questions to yourgarden@gmail.com, post them on Facebook, or leave us a voicemail at (217) 300-8224. We just might look to include them in a future show or podcast!
