You Bet Your Garden offers fiercely organic advice to gardeners far and wide: Tips on caring for plants, fending off pests, wrestling with weeds, dealing with disease, and all the other fun things we outdoor enthusiasts enjoy sooooo much.

Join host Mike McGrath as he slays slugs, defeats deer, whacks weeds, mispronounces Latin words, and saves gardens across the nation every week on You Bet Your Garden - an hour of horticultural hijinks that takes a breezy, light-hearted, and sometimes (OK - frequently) manic approach to the topic of gardening.

Host Mike McGrath was editor-in-chief of Organic Gardening magazine from 1991 through 1997. The one time Marvel Comics editor is the author of several books, including Kitchen Garden A to Z (Abrams; 2004) and You Bet Your Tomatoes (Rodale; 2002). He is also the Garden Editor for WTOP News Radio in Washington, D.C., and his "You Bet Your Garden" column appears in every issue of Greenprints ("The Weeder's Digest"). Mike was the garden expert for the Saturday edition of The Today Show from 1993 through 1997, chaired major exhibits that won four consecutive "Best of Show" awards at the prestigious Philadelphia Flower Show, and will not eat lima beans, no matter how much you pay him.
