Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem is on the air; Sundays 9am to 10 Pacific time on 810 KSFO, and on KSFO.com. This then is the podcast edition, played back on demand any time.

Our guest this week is Joe Skibbie of Beats Beds and Browns -- an interesting enterprise that puts out a video podcast focussing on music (specifically hip-hop, e.g., 'Beats'), beds (e.g., organic local gardening) and browns (small scale distilled spirits). An interesting combination of focusses, so of course one of Edie's first lines of questioning brought out from Joe what the commonality is in all of this -- and it comes down to interweaving communities. Specifically, local music, local gardening, and local liquor, and networking those communities to find common ground. Joe spent the hour with us discussing a variety of angles; give it a listen.

For the podcast edition we are obligated to edit out all of the music (and most of the ads) for your on-demand listening experience.

Happy Mothers' Day from all of us here at 810 KSFO and at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem; our humble Sunday morning gardening talk show on the radio. This podcast is a reproduction of that original broadcast, minus all the music and the bulk of the ads, but inclusive of all the good gardening advice and stories.

This morning we talked about gardening events around the bay, and took a few calls to address some gardening situations for listeners; during the live broadcast we take calls at +1 415 808-5600.

Good morning and happy May from all of us here at Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem! Our guest this morning is Ben Bloom of Bloom's Wholesale Nursery -- a growing nursery supplying high-quality locally-oriented plants to non-box-store local nurseries throughout the Bay Area. Ben is from the second generation of Blooms running the nursery, and has developed a passion for native plants, which are a sub-specialty.

Edie and Ben spent the hour discussing not only the ins and outs of being a "nursery brat," growing up around plant operations; they know many of the same people - but also the many options for garden and landscaping plants we have here in the Bay Area, what some of the factors are in choosing the right ones to grow, together they unfurled some of the myths around using Native plants in your landscape.

This podcast reproduces the original radio broadcast of the show on Sunday morning; the show is heard live on KSFO 810 from 9 until 10 each Sunday in the San Francisco Bay Area, and worldwide on KSFO.com. This podcast edition has been lightly pruned to remove musical content and most adverts.
