Fred and Steve plan to discuss gardening stuff. Not sure yet what will be discussed but I am sure it will be really exciting. You will not want to miss it. Maybe we will discuss dealing with pest problems by going after the cause of the problem not just the pest - which is only a symptom of the problem. Got a garden or growing problem or question? Call in and we will do our best to answer your inquiry. As always listeners will have a chance to win a valuable prize just by answering the Garden Grappler.
