Everyone has a garden story. I’d love to tell yours.
Gardening with Doug
See Doug and many local celebrities at Recipe for Hope 7/31/26
Recipe for Hope is a wonderful charity event that benefits Bonny Diver’s Hair Peace Charities which helps women with cancer.
There are lots of local celebrities there serving wonderful dishes. I’m making Roasted Garlic Ravioli in Fresh Spinach Cream Sauce. My friends David Highfield and Heather Abraham will be there along with a host of other media personalities.
Starting a summer garden as seen on PTL
It's always wonderful to see Heather Abraham and David Highfield at Pittsburgh Today Live.
We covered a lot of ground today, how to water the right way, deadheading and even how to start a garden in July.
Only two seats left to explore the Enchanting Christmas Markets of Germany, Switzerland and France Nov 2026
Join me in November of 2026 to explore the Christmas markets of Germany, France and Switzerland.
These traditional outdoor festivals feature adorned stalls selling handmade, festive crafts, ornaments, and regional foods. It’s amazing!
The Peach Thief from TOG 7/4/26
I had a great talk with Linda Smith author of The Peach Thief, a book I loved. It’s set in the 1850’s and follows the adventures of Scilla Brown, a workhouse orphan in 1850s England posing as a boy to get a job in a wealthy earl's garden after being caught trying to steal a peach.
How to grow disease free tomatoes from Pittsburgh Today Live
We had fun on PTL discussing ways to keep tomatoes healthy through the growing season. It’s been a cool, wet spring which can be problematic for the plants.
