The warm and sunny weather is here, and many Marylanders are headed outdoors to tend to our gardens.

Two seasoned pros join Midday for a seasonal conversation about what we can grow around our homes, in our yards and our community gardens. Carrie Engelthe veteran plant specialist and Greenhouse Manager at Valley View Farms Nursery and Garden Center in Cockeysville, Maryland, joins us for your plant and gardening questions.

And we are also joined by Richard Francis, better known as "Farmer Chippy," the director of The Plantation Park Heights Urban Farm, and the Agrihood in Northwest Baltimore.
