Lively conversation call in show

Gardening and growing fruit is a hobby of mine and I love hearing my fellow gardeners and hobby growers chat about new and solid time tested growing techniques. It's a nice hour spent with good regular people collaborating to solve problems and share information. Love the call-in aspect of this show-- it makes it lively and accessible.

Orchard People pod cast

Such a great resource and an easy way to learn . I planted a new orchard snd have relied on this podcast to help me establish good cultivation practices and healthy plants. Also subscribe to Susan’s fruit tree care course.

A great find in podcast land

With a Library of 70 episodes (as of this writing) anyone who is interested in growing fruit can find something that gets their attention. The guests are terrific and the topics are timely and informative. Most of all, there is an underlying theme of working with nature instead of against her in trying to maximize quality, production, and joy in ones fruit growing endeavors.

Great set of podcasts

I discovered this podcast and the website searching for gardening podcasts. I have a few fruit trees in my yard in California. I have listened to many of these podcasts and love them. I often listen to them on my daily walks. I also found some great material on Susan’s website and hope to take one or more of her courses in the near future. I am a subscriber to the podcast and look forward to new and useful material in the future. Keep up the great work.
