Summary

Springtime planting season is here. To new gardeners, the abundance of plant choices can seem overwhelming.

In this hour, we talk with a panel of green-thumbed experts to hear how a novice gardener can start growing, and what are some sure-fire veggies or varieties for beginners. And we want to hear your gardening questions, especially if you’re planning your first planter box or garden or troubleshooting last season’s mistakes. Learn more about your ad choices.
