From away to garden.com and Robinhood Radio.com, this is Away to Garden with Margaret

Roach.

You're a weekly invitation to dig in and grow.

I've answered a lot of garden questions in my time as a garden journalist, but nobody

has asked more of them than today's guest, who's also the person I've known longer than

anyone else

on the planet.

My baby sister, Maryann Roach Smith,

is an author and podcaster, a popular teacher of memoir writing,

and like her older sister and the grandmother

she is named for, a gardener in her own right.

She's also the person who coined the phrase,

urgent garden question.

As in Margaret, I have an urgent garden

question, meaning that I needed to deliver on-demand answers to the sister on the other end

of the phone line and fast or else. She's here to talk about hand me down plants we've

shared and garden lessons we've learned, like how her 18-dahlia tubers eventually turn

into 175 and that's too many and maybe

we'll ask and answer some more urgent garden questions so more in a moment but first

these messages.
