John’s back in the Garden America studio after spending part of the winter in Idaho, and he brought stories with him. This week’s show digs into what gardening looks like when everything’s frozen over, from peonies sleeping under snow to the unexpected color that shows up in a true cold-climate landscape. We compare Idaho’s deep winter rest with California’s mild cool season, talk through what gardeners can learn from both environments, and catch up on his trip. A relaxed episode with plenty of insight, a few laughs, and a reminder that winter gardening isn’t one-size-fits-all.
