It's time to prune kiwis and grapes and to start the earliest vegetable seeds; plus what's the difference between pollinization and fertilization?

Host Glen Andresen and guest Jim Gilbert discuss pruning grapes and kiwis. This month's word on the Dirtbag Dictionary (where we define a common or uncommon gardening term) is the difference between pollinization and fertilization (and we return to last month's "chilling requirement" or "chill hours"). Plus, it's time to start the earliest of vegetable seeds--inside, and to plant bareroot trees and shrubs.

As always, we'll answer your gardening questions, have a new Plant of the Month (Japanese flowering plum), quiz you with a new Garden Stumper, and fill you in on what's going on in the honey bee hive this month.

The Dirtbag... Listen. Laugh. Learn.
