Bob's in Hawaii checking out the plants and soaking up the sun, so daughter Edie Tanem filled in. Our guest was Rod Rotondi, restauranteur and author of Raw Food for Real People. Full of recipes, stories, and ideas, Rod's book is an introduction to, and a guide for consuming raw foods. Not that one has to eat raw foods exclusively -- though some do -- the point is more that by having a few ingredients and tools around, we can all eat fresher, healthier foods more often and without cooking them to death. This of course can include eating fruits and vegetables that we grow ourselves in our gardens!

This morning we welcomed the legendary figure who helped bring the original Victory Gardens to prominence back in the Great Depression -- Jim Wilson reminds us that this down to earth idea is just as apt today as it was then. Jim and Bob have known one another for many years, and we were pleased to feature an advance peek at his new book, "Homegrown Vegetables," to be released Soon -- as a followup, perhaps, to his original The Victory Garden book available now.

Got Citrus? California is on guard against a relative newcomer in the pest department; the Citrus Psyllid. We've had Lance Walheim on many times; he's an expert on many aspects of gardening and landscaping, but especially he's our go-to expert on Citrus. Lance described the Psyllid (it's like a small praying mantis), and while the bug is itself a pest, the real issue is the Citrus Greening Disease that it can carry; this bacteria is lethal to orange, lemon and lime trees (as well as various other citrus), causing deformities and fruit that will not ripen. Meanwhile, for a wealth of Citrus info check out Lance's book -- it's getting harder to find, until they publisher gets around to revising and reprinting, but it's still out there: called simply "Citrus," it is one of the best books on the subject out there! Finally, Lance's website and blog is at www.lancewalheim.com

Ah yes, the colorful garden: here in California, it is possible to have garden color -- plants in bloom -- all year around! Lee Schneller wrote a book about it, and spent 30 minutes with us at half past 7 this morning, to tell us about some ways to do it; fresh ideas, plant specifics, color-coordination, and more. The Ever-Blooming Flower Garden, by Lee Schneller, is out on Storey Books and is available now. With lots of pretty pictures and some great ideas, it's a good read!
