- Program Description
The flowers are in bloom in the Victory Garden. Roger Swain introduces garden lilies which may be threatened by the bright orange lily leaf beetle. Country cottage roses are pruned to increase re-bloom, and in the vegetable garden, the corn has grown knee-high and the garlic is near ready for harvest. Bob Smaus visits a private estate in Santa Barbara that boasts a magnificent garden carefully designed by the homeowner Katherine L. Fraser in consultation with landscape architects. The 4-acre garden was planned in cooperation with the hilly landscape especially for irrigation and drainage. Marian Morash makes an eggplant and goat cheese dip served with roasted pita bread, chopped red onions and sliced lemons.
