Where on the tree, exactly, does fruit grow? Plus the importance of thinning fruits and veggies.

Host Glen Andresen and  guest Jim Gilbert discuss where on the tree or bush the fruit actually grows, whether it be on old wood, new wood, spurs, or a combination. Plus, we hammer home the importance of thinning fruits and vegetables. And finally, Jim reports on his recent fruit-finding trip to Brazil.

As always, we'll answer your gardening questions, have a new Plant of the Month (the difference between determinate and indeterminate tomatoes) , 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.
