Our guest this morning was Sasha Duerr, author of (among other things) Natural Color: Vibrant Plant Dye Projects for your Home and Wardrobe. She talked to us about using stuff from the garden and from nature to make lasting, interesting dyes for fabric and clothing.

Beverley Tanem is reliably up to date with all the latest gardening events, pruning classes, and pumpkin patches; her report starts the hour. Then it’s back to the telephones and you gardeners out there, enjoying the first big rains of the season with Bob Tanem on KSFO.
