In this episode of GardenDC: The Podcast about Mid-Atlantic Gardening, we chat with Marta McDowell, author of Gardening Can Be Murder and Du Pont Gardens of the Brandywine Valley*. The plant profile is on Blue Mist Shrub and we share what's going on in the garden as well as some upcoming local gardening events in the What's New segment. We close out with the Last Word on Fun with Pumpkins by Christy Page at the Food Gardening Network.
