Our guest this morning on Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem was you -- the bay area gardeners who call in. We had some out-of-area gardeners weigh in too when it comes to that, but this is the Bay Area's premier radio talk show about organic gardening, after all.

Originally aired live on Sunday morning on 810 KSFO San Francisco, this podcast on-demand edition of our show is the same as the original, but has most of the advertising and all of the music edited out, for your protection and that of the license holders. No license is required to grow things in your garden, so here we are! For the unedited experience join us live, 9:00 to 10 am Pacific time on 810 KSFO, and on KSFO.com streaming live.

Welcome to the Podcast Edition of Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem; we present a faithful reproduction of the live (Sunday 9 to 10 am on 810 KSFO San Francisco) radio show, edited lightly to remove most of the ads and all of the music.

Our special guest this morning was Tamara Jo Hicks, co-author of the Feasts on the Farm cookbook along with Jessica Lynn MacLeod. This is a homegrown recipe book out of the Tomales neighborhoods of West Marin, where Tamara and her husband run a goat and sheep milk outfit called Toluma Farms. Sourced from locals, and with a foreword by Alice Waters, the recipes in this book come with stories and pictures, making this a beautiful work of art, featuring artistic culinary creations using local ingredients. The book is available at local bookstores and and select Bay Area farmers' markets.

Our guest on the garden show -- Bob Tanem In The Garden with Edie Tanem -- this morning is Dan Posey. Dan was a colleague and sometimes competitor with Bob Tanem in the nursery business, they met competing with their show gardens at the Marin and Sonoma county fairs many years ago. Edie has known Dan since she was, well, a lot younger.

These days, Dan is with Oaks of Hebron, a non-profit service agency in Sonoma County, and he is mentoring a new startup nursery in Sebastopol called Growing Together Nursery, which complements Growing Together Farm and other endeavors. The nursery is located at the former California Carnovores retail location at 2833 Old Gravenstein Highway in Sebastopol, and is open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, and on Saturday from 8:00 to 4:30 pm. and is open to the public. Dan reminisced with Edie about old times, county fairs, and then talked about their more recent endeavors.

Of seasonal interest, Dan is offering an old-fashioned Christmas Wreath making workshop; there are public workshops at the nursery, and for groups of about 10 or more, Dan will do a private class -- either at the nursery, or wherever the party is. Materials and instructions are included, and participants will leave with a hand made wreath.
