Steve Garner and Gwen Kilchherr take your gardening calls! During this hour, we talk with Dennis Dunn from the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market for a quick market tour. April asks about watering irises, Edna has a question about propagating amaryllis, Tracey emailed a question about drainage, and Karen had a problem with slugs on her pear tree.

Call us each Saturday from 9am to 11am at (707) 636-1350 or email your gardening questions to steve@ksro.com

Host Michelle Marques and Joe Sullivan, Leading Expert and Product Manager at Mercy Wellness are joined by Aliza Sherman, CEO of Ellementa to talk about women and their relationship to cannabis. Cannabis can effect women differently than men, and women also tend to reach for edibles, tinctures, and topicals more than flower and vapes. Learn more in the book that Aliza Sherman co-authored with Dr. June Chin, "Cannabis and CBD for Health and Wellness" available online.

During the second segment, we talk Nate Ferguson, co-founder and Chief of Production at Jetty Extracts. Nate shares details on their new UNREFINED Live Resin product and how it differs from other live resin products. Jetty works with a proprietary cryoextraction process and curing techniques to create this full spectrum product.

Canna Help You is produced by Owen Guyan. Please send your comments and questions to cannahelpyou@mercywellness.com.

I’ll squeeze a market update in too. Numbers for May are low...but no surprise there. June is looking much better!

Hosts Steve Garner and Gwen Kilchher take calls and answer emails regarding herbicides, lawn problems, weed issues, Bing cherry trees, and a tiny spider infestation.

Hosts Steve Garner and Chef John Ash talk with Washington State horticulturalist Bruce Barritt about the Cosmic Crisp apple, which Bruce spent 20 years and 10 million dollars developing with his team at Washington State University. Steve and John tried the apple on air with Bruce in January 2020. During the tasting Bruce mentioned that the apple was developed to remain fresh for 10 months...We've kept our sample 'Cosmics' refrigerated and now we've reached the 5 month point, and it's time to retaste!

As a kid Chef John Ash grew up grilling trout with his grandparents. In this next segment he introduces us to the techniques of both grilling and barbecuing: from grilled fresh spring fava beans(really!), cider-brined pork tenderloin, to grilled fruits with ginger custard sauce. His summer menu will have you primed to get outside and start the weekend! Click here to view the recipes.

June 9 is National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! To celebrate we invited New England writer/chanteuse and doctorate in American studies 'Tinky' Weisblat to the show. Her new book is 'Love, Laughter, and Rhubarb' ...filled with witty historical essays... this wildly enthusiastic book (she named her cat Rhubarb!) features over 60 delicious recipes.

Hosts Steve Garner and Chef John Ash talk with Percy Brandon, GM for Vintners Resort about the protocols and challenges of reopening one of the most highly acclaimed resort/restaurant properties in California.

Steve and John also chat with Kathleen Stewart, one of the founders of the award winning Downtown Bakery in Healdsburg, California about how she's been able to stay the course during these difficult times.

Finally, John and Steve journey to the Outer Hebridean island of South Uist off the Scottish mainland for an audio postcard from Fiona Bird, the delightful author of 'Seaweed in the Kitchen.' Fiona is a avid forager and she recorded a family conversation with insightful comments on how cooking and foraging has brought them together during these unstable times.

Hosts Steve Garner and Gwen Kilchherr take your gardening questions, covering topics that include battling English Ivy, disease ridden tomatoes, techniques for thinning corn, and whether horticultural vinegar is necessary (hint, regular vinegar works just fine).
