Garden Radio

Welcome back to Garden Radio, I'm your host, Ron Newberg. It's springtime and we were talking about tulips, optimal soil conditions, when to pick them. Let's take a call. Bill from Newington, go ahead.

"Hey, Ron. I just wanted to say that when I bring my tulips inside, I always put them by a sunny window."

That's an excellent point, Bill. Tulips love light, and will really only open up if they get a lot of it.

"Yeah, and one more thing, Ron. You're gonna get murdered."

Ok. Well, thanks for your call, Bill. Let's take another one from Jean in Colchester. Jean, how are you.

"I'm fine, Ron, how are you?"

I'm doing just great, thanks for asking! You have a question about tulips, Jean?

"No, I just wanted to say I am going to kill you, so you'd better be very careful walking to you ca--"

All right, appreciate your call, Jean. One thing about tulips, don't go planting any just yet. Wait until late summer for that. Linda from Burlington is on the line. Linda, glad to hear from you.

"Hi, Ron. My tulips still haven't come up yet. I think I might have planted them in moist soil --"

Aah, yup, there's your mistake. Tulips need drained soil --

"You need to get killed, and if someone else doesn't do it you can be sure I--"

Thank you, Linda. All right, once again, folks, I really appreciate your calls. We could have a show without them. But I would ask that you please refrain from making threats against my life, or the life of anyone in my family. This show is about gardening. Next caller is Jim from Torrington.

(heavy breathing, series of clicks)

All right, if I'm not mistaken, I believe Jim was breathing heavily into the receiver, and loading and cocking a gun. Thanks for the call Jim. We're gonna take a quick break and then when we come back we're going to talk about worms.
