Cold Climate Gardening mentioned on Sirius radio

This photo has nothing to do with the post below. Just thought I’d share the view from my porch today. It’s probably at its peak right now and will be gone within a week.

Just learned from Jessica Walliser that on tomorrow’s edition of ‘The Organic Gardeners’ they will be talking about ColdClimateGardening.com. Every week they have a segment called ‘The Go-To List’ where they highlight companies or informational sources for gardening that they find personally useful. Unfortunately, unless you have Sirius Satellite Radio, there is no way for you to listen to it. If you do have it, they air live from 12-2pm EST on Saturdays, then the show is rebroadcast on Sunday from 11am -1 pm EST. Thank you, Jessica, for thinking of us!

About

Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children

Gardening is only a refined form of gambling, after all. Sometimes the odds are fearfully against us; sometimes we win; but once the passion seizes us we are the victims of its fascination for life.

Congrats, Kathy, on the mention. Nothing here is turning at all yet, and yes, we too, are at least two weeks behind. It was 85 degrees here yesterday! Tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 59.

Annie, there’s not a rocker, but there is a bench. And it’s looking this way all over my county now. I have to agree with Digital Flower: it feels like we’re in time warp, because this view is about two weeks later than usual. On Friday, our low temperature achieved a record high! Jessica, don’t put yourself to too much trouble.

There’s a rocker on that porch, right Kathy? So you can stop to sit and gaze and be refreshed. Lovely.

Kathy -
Thanks for letting us talk about you on this afternoon’s program! Since it doesn’t sound like too many folks posting here have access to Sirius, I’m going to do my darndest to get a copy of that segment of the show so you all can have a listen. We have many listeners in both the northern U.S and Canada who stand to gain a lot from visiting your site. Keep up the good work. For anyone interested, other segments of the program can be heard by visiting http://www.theorganicgardeners.com and clicking on the Podcast link in the shaded box on the right side of the home page.
By the way, the front porch view is simply beautiful!
Best and be well,
Jessica Walliser

That sure looks purty! Our trees are nowhere near that yet. This weather is weird, I feel like I am in a bit of a time warp.

Congratulations on the radio show.

Gorgeous view. I wish I could sit on your porch with you and just look at it for a while. Congrats on the radio mention too.

Beautiful view. One of the things I am disappointed about subtropical living is not having such autumn shows.

Wow on the view. Spectacular. I hope you have some time to just sit out there and look at it this weekend. If you don’t, make time anyway.

Our trees are not yet near peak.

Congrats on the radio show. I don’t get Sirius satellite radio, but may have to find out if someone I know does!
