About Garden Guys

Tom and Darrin take a light-hearted look at gardening in the Four Corners and Southwest Colorado. Darrin is the CSU Extension Director in La Plata County and Tom runs GrowFoodWell.com. Each week, Garden Guys topics could include: growing a diversity of fruits and vegetables in a challenging climate; tips on seeding, planting, processing, and eating the bounty around us; garden disasters (and how to avoid them); and storing, canning, and preserving. Got a question for the guys?They might have the answers. If not, they'll make something up.

   Pueblo Seed & Grain Hub

   Food Systems alert: the folks over at Pueblo Seed & Grain Hub, which is part of the greater Pueblo Seed & Food Company, are walking the walk. Tom and Darrin head to a (rainy!) McElmo Canyon to visit Dan Hobbs and talk about this new opportunity for local heritage grains, and the impact that may have for our agricultural, and consumer, communities.

   The Wives Show

   While Darrin and Tom like to tout about how breathtaking their gardens are - while at the same time being doting husbands - their wives may be saying something different. And perhaps they may be revealing what it's like being married to these two - dirt-stained hands, big heads, and all - on air. Lord help us as Beth and Jenny takeover the airwaves and shovel the real dirt (or manure) on the Garden Guys.

   Bears, Deer, and Cyclospora. Seriously.

   Some updates on our gardens - what's working, what's not, and new (bears) and old (deer) visitors to our spaces. Other topics we cover in a scatter-shot pattern: parasites and bacteria in our food supply, paying homage to the garden guru Eliot Coleman and his new book, and Tom and has adoption of technology in his garden (woohoo, a tiller!). Stay cool folks!
