Hello podcast listeners!

Today, it's just Gena and Steve, since Rod has lost his voice and is under the weather, but even with 1/3 of the crew missing, we carry on.

We talk about the Appalachian tradition of planting by the signs, then look ahead to this spring to give some hints on when to plant, courtesy of the Old Farmer's Almanac; We then talk about a new venture in Pike County, Kentucky, that aims to start growing food commercially using state of the art greenhouses, and one of the well-known people who is helping to secure financing for the venture; we then talk about some Appalachian traditions concerning planting and caring for your plants, including the (supposed) practice of whoopin' up on your trees if they don't bear a good crop of fruit!
