Listened to Fred Hoffman for years on the radio station out of Sacramento. He’s entertaining and full of useful gardening knowledge. So happy to be able to listen and learn in podcast form.

Great podcast! Fun , entertaining and so educational!

My favorite garden podcast. Been listing from episode one and before on the radio. I tell everyone about it. Love listening to Fred and all the wonderful guest. Totally agree Debi Flower is everyone’s favorite horticulture professor. Well at least she was my all time favorite college professor.

I drive a lot and enjoy using that time listening to the podcast and learning more about how to garden well. Farmer Fred and his guests have taught me so much. I really appreciate the expertise information I can put to practice in my own garden. I also like how you provide scientific and technical information in a way that is easily understood. I look forward to many more episodes.

I have gained so much knowledge from this podcast. Thank you

Thank you-

Host Fred has a great voice and a knack for keeping things moving and interesting. My favorite gardening show. Great knowledge and great guests on the show.

Thanks so much for tips for gardeners west of the Rockies. So many podcasts are for areas that get rain. Here in the Inland Empire we get some freeze and some triple digit summer temps. You have helped me through many disasters. And thank you for Debbie Flower!

Thanks!

I have learned so much since I started listening to Fred and his guests. I look forward to keep learning!🧡

Every episode is very educational while being entertaining and Fred has an amazing voice for radio/podcasts. I learn a lot as a new gardener.

I have a carrot plant and a spinach plant but they aren’t growing I have them in a pot of 11 inches cercomfrece and 4 inches diameter I have an other spinach plant that is growing in 31 inch cercomfrence and 9 and a half inches diameter why is one growing but the other not they’re both spinach on the some wall of my house and same spot but only one is growing i water them at same time is it the smaller pot? And that’s why it’s not growing so I need a bigger pot ps I live in New Jersey so that can help you answer my question please answer it on the podcast 😀Thank you😀

I’ve been hooked on Farmer Fred’s friendly tone and informative advice for years through both of his radio shows. Am so happy and relieved that he continues doling out the tips and tricks through his podcast. Admittedly I’m not a very accomplished gardener (I’m pretty lazy by nature) but FF makes me believe I can grow anything, and gives me hope that this year I’ll get more than 3 tomatoes. He always has great guests and I just plain enjoy listening!

Super informative with an upbeat host!

Fred Like to hear your response on best type of paint mix to protect trees for sunscald. In past I have made my own whitewash using mixture of salt and type S lime and cover the lower trunk of tree. I never liked idea of using latex paint. However, I listen to your show about salt in many type of fertilizers. So, what is an alternative? What do big orchards use? What options are there. Like your show. Regards

I have learned some great tips and heard things explained on this podcast in ways I haven’t heard other places. For example: everyone says and I know that organic fertilizers “feed the soil” whereas synthetic chemical-based fertilizers feed the plants. But I’ve never heard this explained in a practical what-does-that-really-mean level until one of Fred’s latest episodes. Strongly recommend!

This is my all time favourite podcast! It’s taught me so much and gotten me to plant a whole miniature garden in my courtyard. Such a cool dude and such a fun podcast!!

I have learned so much already from Farmer Fred that I didn’t think there was more to learn. I love that each episode is about 30 minutes, perfect for a drive somewhere. Thank you for a great podcast!

I have been trying for weeks to download this podcast to no avail, any help would be greatly appreciated. I use iTunes on a MacBook Air. PS: the other two podcasts that I download, Get Growing & KFBK Garden show, have no issues downloading. Thanks a bunch, hope you have a suggestion.

Will you please address the mystery seeds being mailed to American’s. This is super scary and I believe you can help prevent something awful since you have the target audience. Thanks in advance!

I love listening to your podcast and learn something every time I do. I’m a novice grower and my kids (2&5) and I love seeing our things grow. We check them every day Listening to you has made me realize that we have a lot to learn but as we are currently looking for a new home with land we are excited to continue learning from you

Like a lot of people, podcasts and gardening have become two passions during quarantine. I was missing our classroom garden with my sweet students and decided to learn more so I can teach them. When I saw the title of this podcast, I was a little unsure. I wondered if I would learn anything from someone geared more toward farming (read big and lots of materials) for my few pots in a very suburban area. Then I realized he was in California and was concerned that he was going to be some out there hippie dude. But I turned it on anyway. I can admit when I am wrong. This is often the most helpful, informative and clearly presented 60 minutes of my week. (Two 30ish minute shows). He gives a lot of practical info on everything from problems to successes. Each episode is jam packed with info but never overwhelming. He has a great voice and is very clear. He asks Claire questions of his guests and brings on people who are very knowledgeable but if not also appeared on every other podcast. I am truly glad I listened. You probably will be too.

I get so many questions from friends now that they’re all taking up gardening during COVID. Your beginners series are easy for me to forward to them based on their questions! And I have to admit, even after gardening for years, and listening to your show for many years- I still continue to learn new things!

Fun and exciting topics, science based research and guests, and practical ways to successfully create the garden of your dreams! Soils, proper watering, attracting pollinators, when and what to fertilize, the list goes on! Fred’s podcast has everything needed to guide you to a productive and healthy garden and landscape.

Thanks for the ampleharvest.org interview where I found a pantry near my home. They’ll be getting my excess zucchini, patty pan squash and cucumbers next week.

Farmer Fred is doing the gardening podcast that you wished you’d listened to first. Such a soothing voice that spews facts not fiction. He brings on the most incredible guests that are definitely SME’s (that’s Subject Matter Expert). Give Farmer Fred a try he’ll be your forever go to guy.

Great information that helps me in the Central Valley of CA as I garden. So pleased to have found Farmer Fred!

Far and away, one of the best gardening podcasts out there.

Seriously, how I wish that I discovered this podcast before the coronavirus lockdown! That would not only give me (who doesn’t want to rely on meat for protein intake) a fantastic alternative to get daily protein but also a wonderful way to keep my sanity from all the boredom during the quarantine. If I learned anything from this pandemic, it would be-less pollution, more greens, get growing with Farmer Fred and make this planet a better place for all of us! Linna

Great podcast addressing problems new gardeners may encounter. Highly recommend!

The best gardening podcast I’ve found! Very informative and still entertaining. He always has the best guests for a good variety of interests. I have listened to his other podcasts and radio shows for years and have learned so much! He has inspired me to apply for the Placer County Master Gardener program for 2021.

Almost planted my tomato plant in a pot too small. Going to nursery tomorrow Thanks Farmer Fred you’ve saved another plant. Bob and Sandy

I'm loving this podcast!! I'm learning while enjoying the positive energy and tone of the host. Thanks for the green inspiration!!
