gardening, the environment, green living and a lot of humor

Mike welcomes back Barbara Melera of D. Landreth Seed Company, who explains why now is the time to plant fall Saffron and Colchicum bulbs. Then, Mike accepts an apology from Tom LaPorte, Assistant Commissioner for the City of Chicago Department of Water Management for damage caused to trees on his block during recent water main construction.
